School children across Caerphilly County Borough have been learning about loud noise and the damage it can do on their hearing.
As part of Noise Action Week 2011, the council’s environmental health team visited primary schools to warn pupils about the danger of excessive noise – in particular MP3 players.
Llancaeach Primary School, Tyn Y Wern Juniors School, Bryn Awel Primary School and Blackwood Primary School all had visits from Sarah Tayler and Abbie Brown, Student Environmental Health Officers at Caerphilly County Borough Council.
Ms Taylor said: “We are hope these sessions provided a useful tool to highlight noise problems and improve the health of young people.”
