The truth about noise pollution

Alarming new evidence from the World Health Organization (WHO) suggests that thousands of people around the world may be dying prematurely or succumbing to disease through the more insidious effects of chronic noise exposure.

Though preliminary, the WHO's findings suggest that long-term exposure to traffic noise may account for 3 per cent of deaths from ischaemic heart disease in Europe - typically heart attacks. Given that 7 million people around the globe die each year from heart disease, it means 210 000 of them die because of the daily noise they undergo. Urban noise, and especially the noise caused by road transports, is a major source of stress that causes heart attacks.
