Description

Three studies examined the health impacts of aircraft noise exposure.

The Heathrow Study (2023) found that nighttime aircraft noise increased cardiovascular events, particularly between 22:00–23:00 and 04:30–06:00, likely due to sleep disturbance and stress-related mechanisms.

🚨 New studies link aircraft noise to serious health risks! 🛩️🔊

📌 Nighttime noise boosts heart disease risk 🫀

📌 Increases cognitive decline & dementia risk 🧠

📌 Alters heart structure, raising cardiac event risk 💔

Time for stronger noise regulations! #Health #NoisePollution

The Swedish Longitudinal Cohort (2024) linked long-term exposure to aircraft and railway noise to faster cognitive decline and a higher risk of cognitive impairment, while road traffic noise showed no significant effect. 

The UK Biobank Study (2025) revealed that higher nighttime aircraft noise exposure was associated with adverse cardiac remodeling, leading to an increased risk of major adverse cardiac events, with obesity and hypertension acting as mediators.
