Journal ArticleDOI
Aircraft and road traffic noise and children's cognition and health: a cross-national study
Stephen Stansfeld,Birgitta Berglund,Charlotte Clark,I. Lopez-Barrio,Paul Fischer,Evy Öhrström,Mary Haines,J Head,Staffan Hygge,I van Kamp,B F Berry +10 more
TL;DR: The findings indicate that a chronic environmental stressor-aircraft noise-could impair cognitive development in children, specifically reading comprehension, and schools exposed to high levels of aircraft noise are not healthy educational environments.
Journal ArticleDOI
The West London Schools Study: the effects of chronic aircraft noise exposure on child health.
TL;DR: The cognitive results indicate that chronic aircraft noise exposure does not always lead to generalized cognitive effects but, rather, more selective cognitive impairments on difficult cognitive tests in children.
Journal Article
A review of environmental noise and mental health
TL;DR: Further research on environmental noise and mental health should be accompanied by more accurate and detailed measurement of noise exposure and consideration of the impact of other environmental stressors and careful measurement of confounding factors such as social class.
Journal ArticleDOI
A first-principles model for estimating the prevalence of annoyance with aircraft noise exposure.
Sanford Fidell,Vincent Mestre,Paul D. Schomer,B F Berry,Truls Gjestland,Michel Vallet,Timothy Reid +6 more
TL;DR: The present analyses demonstrate that 1) community-specific differences in annoyance prevalence rates can be plausibly attributed to the joint effect of acoustic and non-DNL related factors and (2) a simple model can account for the aggregate influences of non-CNS related factors on annoyance prevalence rate in different communities in terms of a single parameter expressed in DNL units-a "community tolerance level."
Journal ArticleDOI
Origins and application of the European Union Position paper on dose response relationships between transportation noise and annoyance
TL;DR: This presentation explains the context in which the Paper was developed, outlines the process by which the dose–response relationships were derived and summarizes the key recommendations.
