![]() ![]() We used the Pollution Standard Index to analyse the data. ![]() Data were collected between April and July 2019. Eighty-four noise measurements were collected using a sound level meter and a dosimeter at different times of the day and month, peak vs off-peak hours and busy days vs quiet days. We conducted a cross-sectional study at two taxi ranks, over 28 days. ![]() The aim of this study was to investigate the noise levels commuters are exposed to and to apply PSI to determine the level of exposure. Additionally, there is a dearth of studies on noise and its effects utilising the pollution modelling technique known as Pollution Standard Index (PSI) to analyse the impact of noise pollution on exposed individuals. Despite the alarming increase in environmental noise pollution, particularly road traffic noise, in developing countries, there seems to be no awareness regarding the long-term impacts of noise, specifically traffic noise, on the health outcomes of individuals exposed to excessive noise. ![]()
