Question

Effect of air/noise pollution on trafffic pollution selection

Answer 1

Direct consequences of noise pollution lead to permanent hearing loss and impairments, while indirect health effects encompass a wide range of health complications resulting from increased anxiety, psychological distress, depression and communication problems. In chronic cases, this can result in cardiovascular problems. Traffic-related noise accounts for over 1 million healthy years of life lost annually to ill health, disability or early death in the western countries in the WHO European Region.
