Abstract

Noise is a global environmental problem that should concern all governments. Noise pollution effect the life quality of human. Noise pollution continues to expand with an increasing number of complaints from people. Nowadays, people are usually exposed to more than one source of noise. Several water and wastewater treatment plants have been constructed in Turkey in the last decades. However, a very limited number of studies were published on the noise pollution in the treatment plant. In this study, noise level of Sivas Water and Wastewater Treatment Plants were determined by using IKON72 model noise measurement instrument according to the environmental noise measurement and evaluation guidelines of Republic of Turkey Ministry of Environment and Urbanization. Results indicated that the noise level in the blower, generator, decanter, and chemical preparation units in the WWTP and tapered aeration, blower, grid removal, generator, and decanter in the DWTP exceeded the permissible limits of 85 dB. Loud noise at work can damage people’s hearing and lead to risks to safety. Working time limitation and uses of some hearing protectors might decrease the effects of noise on the workers

Özet

Gürültü, tüm ülkeleri ilgilendiren küresel bir çevresel sorundur. Gürültü kirliliği insan yaşam kalitesini etkilemektedir. Gürültü kirliliği artmaya devam etmekte ve insanların şikâyetleri de artmaktadır. Günümüzde insanlar genellikle birden fazla gürültü kaynağına maruz kalmaktadır. Türkiye'de son yıllarda çok sayıda içme ve atıksu arıtma tesisi yapılmasına rağmen arıtma tesislerinde gürültü kirliliği konusunda oldukça kısıtlı sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu çalışma da Sivas içme suyu ve atıksu arıtma tesislerinde gürültü seviyeleri Çevre ve Şehircilik Bakanlığı Çevresel Gürültü Ölçüm ve Değerlendirme Klavuzu'na göre İKON72 model gürültü ölçüm cihazı ile belirlenmiştir. Yapılan ölçüm sonucunda atıksu arıtma tesisinde, havalandırıcı, jeneratör, susuzlaştırma, kimyasal hazırlama ünitelerinde; içme suyu arıtma tesisinde ise kademeli havalandırma, havalandırıcı, kum tutucu jeneratör ve susuzlaştırma ünitelerinde izin verilebilir gürültü seviyesi 85dB'ni aştığı belirlenmiştir. Yüksek gürültü seviyeleri işyerinde çalışanlarda işitme kaybına ve sağlık sorunlarına neden olmaktadır. Çalışma süresinin sınırlandırılması ve kulak koruyucu ekipmanların kullanılması, gürültünün çalışanlara etkisini azaltabilir
