Abstract
Noise is the unwanted by product of anthropogenic activities. Mining deteriorates several aspects of environment including the land, soil, air, water. Noise pollution is one the core reasons of ill health of mine labors and resident population. The current paper focuses on the Kota stone industries in Ramganjmandi, Rajasthan. Day time monitoring is executed for the region. Maximum noise level is 120.4 dB(A) and minimum value is 50(A). The mean value is 85.93 dB(A). Interpolation is used to predict the noise levels in the unsampled sites. Inverse distance weightage method is used to for interpolation using ArcMap software. Voronoi mapping of the region is also used to demarcate the region into convex polygons depicting the impact.
