  SOUND POLLUTION | REDUCING PLASTIC & POLYTHENE BAG USE  

 

In 2004, WBB, in collaboration with the University of Asia-Pacific, measured noise levels in different parts of Dhaka city using a mobile noise monitor.  The findings will serve as a baseline for future monitoring of changes in noise levels throughout the city. The results show that in many areas, noise levels far exceed the limits set by the government.
