segment focuses attention on the discussion of the result obtained from chapter
four bases on research hypothesis, the discussion is as follows:
Research hypothesis I
Residents
do not have awareness of the level of noise emanating from sawmill.
do not have awareness of the level of noise emanating from sawmill.
The
calculated X2 value 24.57 is > than the 0.05 table value 5.991
this leads to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. This implies that
residents have awareness of the level of noise emanating from sawmill. The
above findings is in accordance with William (2013) whom stated that there is a
sufficient scientific evidence that noise can reduce hearing impairment, causes
hypertension and ischemic heart disease,
annoyance, sleep disturbance and decrease school performance. This is also in
line with Olojoba (2009) whom observed that high level of noise can lead to
hearing impairment and has caused deafness to several workers and people living
in the environment where the sawmill is located.

The
researcher therefore include that high level noise that emanate from sawmill
affect the health of individual which causes sleep disturbance, headache,
stress, annoyance, fatigue etc.

Research hypothesis II
Noise
emanating from sawmill do not have impact on resident/sawmill workers.
emanating from sawmill do not have impact on resident/sawmill workers.
The
calculated X2 value 12.72 is > than the 0.05 table value 5.991
this leads to the acceptance of the alternative hypothesis. This therefore,
shows that noise pollution has impacts on the health of residents/sawmill
workers. The above findings is in accordance with Gray (2007) which says
chronic exposure to massive of noise e.g. Aircraft, large locomotion machine
etc in elementary school can raise blood pressure and stress level of children
and cause defect in reading and long term memory loss. This finding is also in
line with Henderson and Bielefied (2008) whom stated that prolonged exposure to
noise of at certain frequency pattern may cause temporary hearing or permanent
loss. The researcher therefore include also that noise emanating from sawmill
have a serious impacts on the health of residents and sawmill workers due to
longtime exposure which can reduce hearing impairment.

hypothesis III
hypothesis III
Resident
do not behave positively toward the location of sawmill within human
habitation. The calculated X2 0.87 is < the table value 5.991 which leads to the
acceptance of the null hypothesis this therefore shows that resident complain
of the effects of noise on the quality of their life. This is in line with
Henderson and Bielefied (2008) whom stated that people believe that noise poses risk on human. People attach
danger or health risk to the noise that emanate from sawmill situated near
their house. According to Olojoba (2009) noise pollution at a higher acceleration
of amplitude of about 105 decibel can result to intra sound frequency that can
cause hemorrhage in the liver.

The

sawmill within human habitation because of the effect it cause on their health
and the noise pollution within the environment.

hypothesis V
hypothesis V
Management
of sawmill do not shows concerns about the emission of noise from sawmills.
of sawmill do not shows concerns about the emission of noise from sawmills.
The
calculated X2 value o.99 < 5.991 which leads to the acceptance of
the null hypothesis it therefore means that the management are not playing
vital roles about monitoring the emission of noise from the sawmill. The above
finding is in accordance with Unuraye (2008) considering the fact that people
have social and economic device in the type of noise accept that the emission
of noise is a pleasure thing. The management is not doing what is require of
them by not monitoring the emission of noise from the sawmill. The above
findings is in line with Gray (2007) which stress that some of the sawmill
management fail to provide personal protective equipment (P.P.E) for their
workers.

The
researcher therefore agrees to be above findings that management does not show
any effort to prevent noise pollution in sawmill.
