Objective
The project aim is to assess the impacts on cardiovascular health of aircraft and road traffic noise. The project uses a multi-centre approach with scientific expertise from six European countries, including cross-sectional studies with retrospective exposure assessment in Germany, Greece, Italy, the Netherlands, Sweden and the UK. The project will analyse the exposure-response relationships in adults between long-term exposure to airport-related noise and hypertension, evaluating the modifying effects of air pollution on noise associated cardiovascular effects. Acute changes in blood pressure following short-term changes in noise levels will be assessed. The studies will be conducted near airports with a wide range of exposures, which will permit analyses of exposure response relationships for the general population. The results will provide scientific support for guidelines for a European policy on noise and health.
