True or false decibel is a measurement of the amount of pollution

1 answer

False. A decibel (dB) is a unit of measurement used to quantify sound intensity, not pollution. It measures the pressure level of sound, indicating how loud a sound is. Pollution is typically measured in terms of concentration, such as parts per million (ppm) or micrograms per cubic meter (µg/m³), depending on the specific pollutant being measured.
