Noise Pollution, How to Reduce the Impact of an Invisible Threat?

Air pollution is not the only pollution that has a deleterious effect on life on earth. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), noise pollution is one of the environmental factors that generates the most health problems. According to data from the European Environment Agency (EEA), in Europe alone it causes 16,600 premature deaths and more than 72,000 hospitalizations each year.

What is noise pollution?

Not all sounds are considered noise pollution. The World Health Organization (WHO) defines noise as any sound greater than 65 decibels (dB).

Specifically, if the noise exceeds 75 dB, it will become harmful and cause pain after 120 dB.

Therefore, the statement recommends not to exceed 65 dB during the day, and points out that to restore sleep,

the ambient noise at night should not exceed 30 dB

Solutions to reduce noise pollution

International organizations like the World Health Organization point out that citizenship is essential to defeat this invisible enemy.

For example:do not make too much noise during leisure activities, avoid using the car and choose alternatives such as the bicycle or the electric car,

carry out household chores at the recommended time, use sound-absorbing materials to insulate the house, etc.

Therefore, it is also important to promote environmental education among the youngest.

The competent authority may also take measures to carry out adequate environmental noise management to help reduce noise pollution..

Skull fracture

Skull Fracture

A skull fracture is a fracture or break in the cranial (skull) bones.

Considerations

• A skull fracture can present with head injuries. The skull provides excellent protection to the brain. However, a blow or strong impact could cause the skull to break. This may be accompanied by concussion or other injury to the brain.
• 
  
• The brain could be directly affected by damage to the tissue of the nervous system and by bleeding. The brain may also be affected by bleeding below the skull. This could compress the underlying brain tissue (subdural or epidural hematoma).
• 
  
• A simple fracture is a break in the bone without damage to the skin.
• 
  
• A linear skull fracture is a break in a cranial bone that resembles a thin line, with no chipping, depression, or distortion of the bone.
• 
  
• A collapsed skull fracture is a break in a cranial bone (or "flattening" of a portion of the skull) with depression of the bone into the brain.
• 
  
• A compound fracture involves a break or loss of skin and chipping of the bone.

Subdural Hematoma

It is a collection of blood between the covering of the brain (dura) and the surface of the brain.

Causes

• A subdural hematoma is often the result of severe head trauma. This type of subdural hematoma is among the deadliest of all head injuries. Bleeding fills the brain area quickly, compressing brain tissue. This often causes head trauma and can lead to death.
• 
  
• Subdural hematomas can also occur after minor head trauma. The amount of bleeding is less and occurs more slowly. This type of subdural hematoma is often seen in older adults. They can go unnoticed for several days to weeks and are called chronic subdural hematomas.
• 
  
• With any subdural hematoma, the small veins between the surface of the brain and its outer covering (the dura) stretch and rupture, allowing blood to pool. In older adults, the veins have often already been stretched due to brain shrinkage (atrophy) and are more easily injured.
• 
  
• Some subdural hematomas occur without cause (spontaneously).
• 
  
• The following factors increase the risk of suffering a subdural hematoma:
• 
  
• Blood thinning medications (such as warfarin or acetylsalicylic acid [aspirin])
• Prolonged consumption of alcohol
• Medical conditions that cause your blood to not clot properly
• Repetitive head trauma, such as from falls
• Being very young or very old
• In infants and younger children, a subdural hematoma can occur after child abuse.
