Abstract
Technology innovation nowadays is a fast-growing phenomenon that greatly impacts society. These technologies had modernized the way of living. From transportations to electronics and communications- these are increasingly emerging to satisfy human needs but are seen to greatly contribute to societal problems such as noise and air pollution.
Pollution introduces contaminants causing adverse effects on health and environment. According to Bradford (2018) noise and air pollution is a most prevalent pollution problem in the world. Rappler presented that road workers (traffic enforcers and street sweepers) are most frequently exposed to hazards for ^long-term blood poisoning and hearing loss^ (July 12, 2019 - [Right of Way] The city^s most dangerous job.
The United Nations Agenda 21 and the European Charter on Transport, Health and surrounding both supports principles of environmental management in these policies by government, including managements of air and noise can be based which include three principles: (1) the prevention principle (2) polluters pay principle- and the (3) precaution principle. The prevention principle incorporates the possible level in a special situation and location without finding all of the scientific proof of destroys. The polluters pay principle is associated with monitor, management, abating levels and superintendence while prevention principle implements reduction of pollution in sources.
Different air and noise estimators are now available with high-cost values and eventually there is a deficiency to locality and to individual households.
Thus, incorporating the relevant concepts, this study shows the need for a high performance-price ratio device mainly focused on efficient monitoring of air and noise quality levels.
