Noise Pollution - There is in nature a biological balance between all living beings. This system in balance organisms produce substances that are useful to other organizations and so on. The pollution will exist whenever waste (solid, liquid or gas) produced by microorganisms or released by man in nature, are higher than the carrying capacity of the environment, causing changes in species survival. Pollution can be understood also as any modification of existing ecological balance.

Pollution is mainly produced by man and is directly related to the processes of industrialization and consequent urbanization of humanity. These are the two contemporary factors that can clearly explain the current pollution levels. The pollutants are the possible variables and are able to change water, soil, air, etc..

Pollution is therefore an assault on nature, the environment in which man lives. The effects of pollution are now so large that there are already numerous organizations defending the environment.
