University College London Study Links Aircraft Noise to Fourfold Increase in Heart Attack Risks Near Airports
Jan 9, 2025, 05:10 AM
A recent study conducted by researchers at University College London (UCL) has revealed that living near airports, where residents are exposed to high levels of aircraft noise, may significantly increase the risk of serious heart conditions, including heart attacks and strokes. The study indicates that individuals subjected to this noise could face a fourfold increase in the likelihood of experiencing these health issues. The findings highlight the potential health impacts of environmental noise pollution, particularly from aircraft, and underscore the need for further investigation into its long-term effects on cardiovascular health.
