Webel Mediatronics Limited has recently executed an order from West Bengal Pollution Control Board for 180 nos. of
Sound Level Meters.

Sound Level Meter ( SLM-04 ) has been designed and manufactured by Webel Mediatronics Limited according to the
specification outlined by West Bengal Pollution Control Board. This is a type-2 sound level measuring instrument, useful
for measurement of sound / noise level at public place, factories, workspace, etc. having facility for instant printing of
noise level measured along with date, time and location information.

Noise Pollution or Sound Pollution is the propagation of excessive level of noise in the environment with harmful impact
on health. Some of the sources of noise in residential areas include loud music, fire crackers, transportation,
indiscriminate use of loud speakers in high volume in public events, etc. In factories, machines cause high level of noise.

Noise exposure has been known to induce sleep disturbance, headache, annoyance, fatigue, tinnitus, hypertension,
heart disease and even hearing impairment.

Through Acts of Government of India permissible limits are defined for different areas like residential, industrial,
commercial and silence zone. Silence zones are places around hospitals, schools, courts, etc. Day time and night time
limits are also defined by the Pollution Control Board.

Law enforcement agencies required field instrument to measure and record noise level at sites along with date, time
and location information.

WML has been able to complete the entire design within a total period of three months and successfully manufactured
a lot of 180 within two months achieving the challenging task within committed schedule. Also completed training and
distribution of the devices to the various Police Commissionerates across the state as per the distribution list suggested
