TLDR
The process behind the development of CNOSSOS-EU and the parts of the CNOSS OS-EU core methodological framework are outlined, whilst focusing on the main scientific and technical issues that were addressed, and the implementation challenges that are being faced before it can become fully operational in the EU MS.

Road traffic noise, air pollution and incident cardiovascular disease: A joint analysis of the HUNT, EPIC-Oxford and UK Biobank cohorts

TL;DR: Evidence is found of a possible association between road traffic noise and incident IHD, consistent with current literature and long-term particulate air pollution exposure, even at concentrations below current European air quality standards, was significantly associated with incident CVD.
Journal ArticleDOI

Development of an open-source road traffic noise model for exposure assessment

TL;DR: The development of a model for assessing TRAffic Noise EXposure (TRANEX) in an open-source geographic information system so that the treatment of source geometry, traffic information and receptors matched as closely as possible to that of the air pollution modelling being undertaken in the TRAFFIC project.

Exposure to road traffic noise: Annoyance, perception and associated factors among Brazil's adult population

TL;DR: A high prevalence of annoyance reports, as well as aspects indicative of sensitivity to noise exposure, are found, which suggest the importance of reviewing and updating Brazilian public policies regarding environmental noise.
Journal ArticleDOI

International scale implementation of the CNOSSOS-EU road traffic noise prediction model for epidemiological studies

TL;DR: A low resolution noise model should provide adequate performance for exposure ranking and with relatively large errors in predicted noise levels, the CNOSSOS-EU road traffic noise prediction model with coarser input data is concluded.

On the outdoor annoyance from scooter and motorbike noise in the urban environment

TL;DR: It is resulted that PTW are a relevant cause of specific environmental annoyance on pedestrians when low background noise levels and sparse traffic flow allow identifying the PTW.

The Harmonoise sound propagation model

TL;DR: In this paper, a detailed description of all steps involved in a calculation with the Harmonoise sound propagation model is presented, restricted to point-to-point propagation, which is a basic element of a full engineering model for environmental noise.

Gden: An indicator for European noise maps comparison and to support action plans.

TL;DR: A comparison within agglomerations in EU is here carried out in order to find suitable indicators to identify most polluted cities despite different methods used, and to define faster methods for suitable indicators calculation in hot spot identifications.
