Assessment of traffic-related noise in three cities in the United States.

TLDR
Ambient noise levels measured in all three cities were correlated with traffic data, highlighting the importance of traffic planning in mitigating noise-related health effects, and future noise studies that use modeled noise estimates should evaluate traffic data quality and should ideally include other factors, such as local roadway, building, and meteorological characteristics.Citations

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.

TL;DR: Investigation of associations between traffic-related nitrogen oxides (NOx) or noise pollution and risk of incident metabolic syndrome and its components in an elderly Mexican-American population found policies aiming to reduce traffic- related air pollution and noise might mitigate the risk of metabolic syndrome in vulnerable populations.

Residential Proximity to Major Roadways and Prevalent Hypertension Among Postmenopausal Women: Results From the Women's Health Initiative San Diego Cohort
Kipruto Kirwa,Kipruto Kirwa,Melissa Eliot,Yi Wang,Marc A. Adams,Cindy G. Morgan,Jacqueline Kerr,Gregory J. Norman,Charles B. Eaton,Matthew A. Allison,Gregory A. Wellenius +10 more
TL;DR: In this cohort of postmenopausal women, residential proximity to major roadways was positively associated with the prevalence of hypertension, suggesting that living close to major roads may be an important novel risk factor for hypertension.

Traffic Noise and Risk of Myocardial Infarction
TL;DR: The hypothesis that chronic exposure to high levels of traffic noise increases the risk of myocardial infarction and other cardiovascular diseases is supported.

TL;DR: Noise stress hypothesis chronic stress hormone dysregulations as well as increases of established endogenous risk factors of ischaemic heart diseases have been observed under long-term environmental noise exposure and an increased risk of myocardial infarction is to be expected.

Community noise exposure and stress in children
TL;DR: Examination of multimethodological indices of stress among children living under 50 dB or above 60 dB (A-weighted, day-night average sound levels) in small towns and villages in Austria found children in the noisier areas had elevated resting systolic blood pressure and 8-h, overnight urinary cortisol.

Road traffic noise and hypertension.
TL;DR: The strongest association between exposure to traffic noise and hypertension was found among those with the least expected misclassification of true individual exposure, as indicated by not having triple-glazed windows, living in an old house and having the bedroom window facing a street.
