A new data provides a link to indicate early death due to noise. So far, noise is a form of pollution that most people don't know, and it can have a negative impact on health. A study by the World Health Organization [WHO] shows that thousands of people around the world suffer from heart disease that does not die in time due to prolonged exposure to excessive noise. The World Institutional Noise and Environmental Burden Disease Working Group began studying the impact of noise on European health in 2003.
In addition to heart disease, it also found that 2% of Europeans suffer from severe sleep disturbances due to noise pollution, and 15% suffer from serious troubles. Long-term exposure to load traffic noise can cause 3% of tinnitus cases, and people often hear noise in their ears.
Recent studies have shown that even during sleep, noise increases the levels of stress hormones such as cortisol, adrenaline and norepinephrine. The longer these hormones flow in the blood circulation, the more likely they are to cause life-threatening physiological problems.
High stress levels can lead to heart failure, high blood pressure and immune problems. The World Health Organization has derived its data by comparing household data from families with unusually high levels of noise exposure and quiet families.
According to the World Health Organization guidelines, the noise threshold for cardiovascular problems is 50 dB [50 dB] or more for chronic nighttime exposure – light traffic noise. For sleep disturbances, the threshold is forty-two decibels [42 decibels], and the general annoyance is thirty-five decibels [35 decibels], the voice of the whisper.
As our environment becomes more and more noisy, noise pollution can cause stress and can cause heart disease in heart patients.
