Environmentalists say the Buriganga, or the Old Ganges once famous for a
spectacular cruise, is worst affected.

Noise Pollution
The noise pollution is also a major health hazard in Bangladesh. According to
World Health Organization (WHO), 60 decibel (DB) sound can make a man
deaf temporarily and 100 DB sound can cause complete deafness. According
to the Department of Environment (DOE), the perfect sound condition for
Bangladesh is 45 dB for the daytime and 35 dB for the night in peaceful areas
and 50 dB for the daytime and 40 dB for the night in residential areas. The
main sources of noise pollution are industries, motorized vehicles,
construction works and indiscriminate use of loudspeaker. At present noise
level in Dhaka city are estimated ranging from 60 to 100 decibel. If present
situation continues then by the year 2017, 50% people of Dhaka city will loss
30 decibel of hearing power.
