Pretend you are a teacher preparing a quiz for the text I will provide. 
            Each quiz question should follow the format below. 
            Ensure that you carefully recheck the questions and answers for accuracy. 
            The output should be a ready-to-use list of dictionaries for the Python eval function:

                    "question": "WRITE THE QUESTION HERE",
                    "options": ["A) OPTION_1", "B) OPTION_2", "C) OPTION_3", "D) OPTION_4"],

            aining environmental noise levels at 
70 dBA and below. 
Noise Pollution Sources: 
- Industrial 
- Non-industrial: Transport, household, commodities and recreational (Loud 
music, discos, religious& social assemblies).

Effects of Noise Exposure on Health 
1. Non-Auditory Effects 
- Stress, physiological & behavioral changes, anxiety, poor concentration 
headaches, reduced productivity, general annoyance and poor work or 
school performance. 
- Hypertension, sleep disturbances, other cardiovascular impacts, lowered 
body resistance to disease, increase the risk of work injuries mainly due 
to the inability to hear equipment problems or warning signals. 
2. Auditory Effects 
- Acoustic trauma, tinnitus, temporary & permanent hearing loss. 
Noise Mitigation 
1) Careful planning of cities (Green belt between the residential & industrial 
zone). 
2) Control of vehicle. 
3) Acoustic insulation of buildings. 
4) Control of noise at sources (industries & railways). 
5) Protection of exposed persons (ear plugs, periodic audiogram). 
6) Legislation as central pollution control broad. 
7) Education:   
- Limit the exposure time. 
- Avoid listening to loud noises for too long. 
- Keep the volume of personal listening devices at a low level.  
- Take a break from loud noises every once in a while. 
- Cover the ears when emergency vehicles are passing by  
- Perform hearing exam.

Waste Disposal: 
Definition of waste: Something which the owner no longer wants it at given place 
and time. 
Waste produced in the form of household garbage, human excreta, agricultural and 
industrial products which including hazardous biological, chemical and radioactive 
substances. 
Waste Management 
Waste management is the collection transport, processing or disposal managing and 
monitoring of waste materials. All waste materials, whether they are solid, liquid, 
gaseous or radioactive fall within the remit of waste management. 
Benefits of waste management: 
◆ Reducing Waste Volume: By segregating waste, we can increase the amount 
that gets recycled, subsequently decreasing overall waste production. 
◆ Cutting Expenditure on Waste Disposal: Funds used for waste disposal can be 
redirected to enhance quality of life in other areas. 
◆ Conserving Energy and Resources: Recycling waste can generate revenue and 
decrease the need for raw materials in manufacturing processes. 
◆ Preserving the Environment and Minimizing Pollution: Properly sorting 
waste can lead to a reduction in pollution, helping to protect the environment. 
◆ Preserving Marine Life: When plastic isn't separated and recycled, it often ends 
up in the ocean, harming marine ecosystems.

Methods of Waste Management 
There are four types of waste management: landfill, incineration, recycling, and 
composting. 
Landfill 
Landfills are the most common way of disposing of waste. The waste is buried 
underground, and layers of soil cover it. Landfills are cost-effective and can
