Abstract
La contaminación acústica es un tema de creciente interés en la comunidad científica debido a sus efectos adversos en la salud humana. Se define como cualquier señal sonora no deseada que resulta molesta y cuya exposición prolongada puede afectar el bienestar de las personas, convirtiéndose en un contaminante ambiental. Este estudio se centró como objetivo caracterizar los niveles de ruido y elaborar un mapa del ruido ambiental en el distrito de Pebas, Perú. La investigación adoptó un enfoque cuantitativo, longitudinal y descriptivo, utilizando modelamiento por muestreo para evaluar la contaminación acústica en diferentes áreas urbanas. Los resultados mostraron diferencias significativas en los niveles de ruido: la Zona de Protección Especial registró un promedio de 58.28 dB, mientras que la Zona Residencial tuvo 54.58 dB, y la Zona Comercial alcanzó el nivel más alto con 66.67 dB. Estos niveles superan los límites recomendados por normativas ambientales, lo que plantea preocupaciones serias sobre la salud pública, siendo el tráfico vehicular la principal fuente de ruido identificado.
Noise pollution is a topic of growing interest in the scientific community due to its adverse effects on human health. It is defined as any unwanted sound signal that is bothersome and whose prolonged exposure can affect people's well-being, thus becoming an environmental pollutant. This study aimed to characterize noise levels and create a noise map of the urban district of Pebas, Peru. The research adopted a quantitative, longitudinal, and descriptive approach, using sampling modeling to assess acoustic pollution in different urban areas. The results showed significant differences in noise levels: the Special Protection Zone recorded an average of 58.28 dB, while the Residential Zone had 54.58 dB, and the Commercial Zone reached the highest level at 66.67 dB. These levels exceed the limits recommended by environmental regulations, raising serious concerns about public health, with vehicular traffic identified as the main source of noise.
