QUALITY OF LIFE: THE EXPOSURE OF A FOOTBALL WATCHING CENTER IN A METROPOLITAN AREA TO NOISE POLLUTION

Abstract

Because of its impact on hearing and other associated health conditions, noise pollution is an environmental problem. High levels of noise above normal limits cause hearing loss and other attendant problems. In Nigeria, the 'Mini Stadium' is known as the viewing center where football matches are watched via satellite. The noise pollution of a viewing center was measured in this research. To do this, five top teams were chosen for the evaluation, each from the English Premier League (EPL), La Liga, Bundesliga, League 1, and Serie A. For the measurement, a sound level meter was used. The dBA noise concentration spectrum was as follows: EPL (56-108); La Liga (46-106); Bundesliga (54-102); Serie A (49-101); and Ligue 1 (54-101). Compared to the normal limits, the findings revealed that some of the results were above the limits, which means that viewers and those outside the viewing center might be vulnerable to the problem of hearing. It is recommended that acoustic insulators and hearing aids be used to reduce the noise-related issues involved.
