1. Air Pollution
2. Water Pollution
3. Soil Pollution
Soil pollution is a state in which manmade chemicals enter and change the natural soil
environment. This pollution usually occurs due to: leakage of wastewater or industrial
4. Sound Pollution
Sound pollution (sounds of the environment) is the sound of the results of machines,
animals and humans interfering with the activity or balance of human or animal life. Sound
pollution or sound pollution is a disturbance in the environment caused by sounds or sounds
that result in the unfamiliarity ofFigure 5. Sound Pollution

The noise that causes noise is caused by a vibrating sound source. The vibration of
this sound source disturbs the balance of the surrounding air molecules so that the air
molecules join in vibrating. The vibration of this source causes a wave of mechanical energy
propagation in the air medium according to the longitudinal propagation pattern. Rambatan
waves in the air is known as sound or sound while with the context of space and time so that
it can cause disruption of comfort and health.
In the industry, the source of noise can be classified into 3 kinds, namely:
a. Machine
Noise generated by machine activity.
b. Vibration
Noise generated by the resultant vibration caused by friction, impact or unbalanced
movement of the engine part. Occurs in gears, flywheels, torque rods, pistons, fans, bearing,
and others.
c. Air movement, gas and liquid
This noise is caused by movement of air, gas, and liquids in industrial work processes
such as gas pipelines, pipe outlets, flue gas, jet, flare boom, and others. For example some
sounds that cause noise whose power is measured by dB or decibels are:
i. People noisy / silat tongue = 80 dB
ii. Train sound / krl = 95 dB
iii. Engine motor 5 pk = 104 dB
iv. Lightning sound = 120 dB
v. The jet plane took off = 150 dB
The consequences of sound pollution can be categorized into two, namely the effect on
human physical and psychological disorders.
1. Physical Disorders
Physical impairment due to continuous noise pollution will result in hearing loss,
increased blood pressure, headache, and ringing.
2. Psychological disorders
While psychological disorders can be aggravation and confusion due to not usually to
berkonsetrasi or rest.
For that it is important to know the prevention so that we are not affected by noise pollution,
that is by:
1. Group the room with high noise potential.
2. Use sound-absorbing material.
3. Create an uneven surface to spread the sound.
4. Using earplugs to reduce the intensity of the incoming sound.
