9 wrz 2020 · Traffic noise represents the important environmental risk factors in mechanized areas [44] and it is one of the fastest growing and most ubiquitous types of environmental pollution [1]. It is associated with high blood pressure, but the long-term impact may lead to hospitalization and rare chances of death.
10 paź 2024 · Noise pollution is a significant environmental impact caused by transport activity. In 2022, exposure to noise from transport sources was estimated to impact the health and well-being of more than 100 million people in Europe.
23 lis 2020 · Road traffic noise is the dominant source affecting human exposure above the EU’s threshold of 55 decibels (dB) for daily exposure and 50 dB for night exposure. Around 100 million people are exposed to road traffic noise above 55 dB in the 33 member countries of the EEA (Figure 1).
1 kwi 2022 · Road traffic noise is one of the main environmental risks to health and wellbeing. The study provides an in-depth assessment of available road traffic noise data and estimates population exposure and health impacts for >700 cities in Europe.
14 mar 2023 · In Europe, the number of people affected by noise from transport is significant, with at least one in five exposed to chronic levels that can cause adverse health effects. Reducing the negative impacts of exposure to transport noise by 30% is a 2030 target under the European Commission's zero pollution plan.
1 gru 2022 · Unlike air pollution, traffic-related noise remains unregulated and has been under-studied despite evidence of its deleterious health impacts. To characterize population exposure to traffic noise, both acoustic-based numerical models and data-driven statistical approaches can generate estimates over large urban areas.
In 2011, an estimated one million healthy life years were lost from traffic-related noise in the western part of Europe only. Important sources for environmental noise exposure are road, railway and air traffic, or building sites.
