TLDR
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.About:

Auditory and non-auditory effects of noise on health
Mathias Basner,Wolfgang Babisch,Adrian Davis,Adrian Davis,Mark Brink,Charlotte Clark,S.A. Janssen,Stephen Stansfeld +7 more
TL;DR: The importance of adequate noise prevention and mitigation strategies for public health is stressed, as Observational and experimental studies have shown that noise exposure leads to annoyance, disturbs sleep and causes daytime sleepiness.
Journal ArticleDOI
Child Development and the Physical Environment
TL;DR: Characteristics of the physical environment that influence child development are discussed and behavioral toxicology, noise, crowding, housing and neighborhood quality, natural settings, schools, and day care settings are discussed.

TL;DR: An improvement in cognitive development associated with surrounding greenness, particularly with greenness at schools, was found among schoolchildren, partly mediated by reductions in air pollution.

Birdsong and anthropogenic noise: implications and applications for conservation.
TL;DR: It is hypothesized that behavioural plasticity in singing behaviour may allow species more time to adapt to human‐altered environments and the potential for microevolutionary changes and urban speciation in European blackbirds (Turdus merula) is addressed.

Where, When, Why, and For Whom Do Residential Contexts Matter? Moving Away from the Dichotomous Understanding of Neighborhood Effects
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on empirical work that considers how different dimensions of individuals' residential contexts become salient in their lives, how contexts influence individuals' lives over different timeframes, how individuals are affected by social processes operating at different scales, and how residential contexts influence the lives of individuals in heterogeneous ways.

The Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire: A Research Note
TL;DR: Preliminary findings suggest that the SDQ functions as well as the Rutter questionnaires while offering the following additional advantages: a focus on strengths as as difficulties; better coverage of inattention, peer relationships, and prosocial behaviour; a shorter format; and a single form suitable for both parents and teachers, perhaps thereby increasing parent-teacher correlations.

Regression Using Fractional Polynomials of Continuous Covariates: Parsimonious Parametric Modelling
TL;DR: Fractional polynomials as discussed by the authors are a family of curves, whose power terms are restricted to a small predefined set of integer and non-integer values, whose powers are selected so that conventional polynomial are a subset of the family.

Air Pollution and Children's Health
TL;DR: Evidence for effects of air pollution on children have been growing, and effects are seen at concentrations that are common today, and many associations seem likely to be causal but require and warrant additional investigation.
