“…Therefore, growing evidence indicates environmental noise levels effectively activate stress responses, thus affecting cognition, behavior, and mental health (Barbaresco et al, 2019;Evans, Lercher, Meis, Ising, & Kofler, 2001). It is probable that this relationship is not simple, acting over long periods of time and, as seen in our data, affecting populations differently (Clark & Paunovic, 2018).…”

“…Thereby, environmental noise has been considered one of the major public health problems (Geravandi, Takdastan, Zallaghi, & Niri, 2015;Passchier-Vermeer & Passchier, 2000), the obvious one is hearing loss (Kryter, 1994;Nandi & Dhatrak, 2008). However, noise pollution has less-obvious system-wide effects including sleep disturbances, increased nor-adrenaline and cortisol levels, perceived stress augmentation, and higher cardiovascular risk, among others (Barbaresco et al, 2019;Münzel et al, 2018;Stansfeld & Matheson, 2003;Tonne et al, 2016). Altogether, the effects of long term traffic noise exposure are reflected in increased levels of mortality by conditions like myocardial infarction along with type II diabetes (Barceló et al, 2016).…”

Urban environments are increasing worldwide, providing access to public facilities. Nevertheless, specific city features such as environmental noise have been related to health detriments. Deleterious effects of noise in health might depend on socioeconomic and demographic factors. The present mixed-method exploratory study examines the relationship between first-person experience while walking through neighborhoods in Santiago, Chile. Geo-referenced mobile eye-tracking measured first-person audio-visual perceptual experience while interviewed. Logistic regression was used to study the relationship between environmental noise, socioeconomic status, and specific ‘positive’ and ‘negative’ self-reported experiences during walking.Our results suggest that reporting negative experiences depends on environmental noise levels for higher and middle-income neighborhoods. However, in lower-income neighborhoods, higher environmental noise was associated with positive experiences, while lower noise was reported as negative.We interpret these results considering that access to public facilities (e.g. supermarkets, banks) is usually concentrated along main, noisy streets and, in lower-income neighborhoods, this meant benefits of urbanicity (i.e. access to services and facilities, green areas). Furthermore, our results suggest an impact of urban planning and development on socio-economic inequality.

“…Sin embargo, a pesar del tamaño de este sector en la fuerza laboral, en Latinoamérica, existen pocos estudios que exploren los problemas de salud ocupacional en personas que trabajan en la informalidad. Algunos estudios han reportado la exposición a riesgos ambientales, químicos y ergonómicos en estos trabajadores 5,6 , así como jornadas largas de trabajo e ingresos muy bajos 7 , pero son casi inexistentes los estudios dirigidos a identificar factores psicosociales del trabajo y su relación con la salud psicológica, sobre todo en quienes se dedican específicamente al comercio informal en la región.…”

La mayor parte de la fuerza laboral en Latinoamérica está compuesta por personas que trabajan en la economía informal, a pesar de eso, son pocos los estudios que estudian los factores psicosociales laborales a los que se encuentran expuestas estas personas y sus consecuencias psicológicas, objetivo del presente estudio preliminar. Mediante una exploración cuanti-cualitativa se identificaron factores psicosociales, negativos y positivos, y su relación con la salud mental, el estrés, la satisfacción, el burnout y el engagement laboral en una muestra de comerciantes informales en la ciudad de Cuernavaca, Morelos, México (N=116). Los resultados mostraron una mayor presencia de factores psicosociales positivos sobre los negativos (e.g tareas gratificantes, compartir con gente, etc., versus, riesgos ambientales, batallar con clientes, etc.), y aunque mostraron pocas relaciones bivariadas con los efectos psicológicos, los análisis de escalamiento multidimensional confirmaron un componente de motivación intrínseca en la naturaleza del trabajo que es más cercano a los efectos positivos (e.g satisfacción, engagement), y una dimensión de interacción negativa con las personas, que se vinculó más a los efectos negativos (e.g burnout y pobre salud mental) (S-Stress=.07731, RSQ=.97006). Este estudio preliminar permitió identificar factores psicosociales muy específicos en el contexto de estos comerciantes informales que son inexistentes en escalas estandarizadas, así como una estructura de dimensiones y relaciones trascendentes entre variables, lo que puede contribuir a la comprensión futura de estos fenómenos y su consideración estratégica en la solución de problemas y condiciones de trabajo de este sector en América Latina.

“…Exposure to noise in the long term can cause hearing harms which individuals might not be aware of it (19)(20)(21)(22), Fig 1 which is called sound effects pyramid shows the noise pollution consequences based on two parameters of severity and the number of people exposed to it. In recent years, noise pollution and its consequences has become an important issue in scientific researches and numerous studies have been conducted to reduce the noise pollution problems in different cities and human settlements (24)(25)(26), It is more than two decades that water, soil and air pollution have been considered in Iran but still needs much efforts in noise pollution (27)(28)(29). While the increase of different urban activities has led to reveal the sound pollution as a social problem, but the importance of noise pollution in the country is not clear.…”

Background. Numerous studies have been shown that exposure to recreational intense sounds increases the damages of the hearing system. Objectives. This research aims to measure the sound level in Darakeh mountainous region and the climbing routes. Methods. The stationary method was used to record the measurement points. The sound level on the routes was measured in the distance of one meter, in A level and as an equivalent level by a portable device and Decibel X software (Version 2019) and compared with the standard sound (OSHA-90 dBA). Sound pressure level parameters (SPL), average sound level ((LP) ̅ ), equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) and personal daily dose LAEp, d was also calculated. Results. The research findings indicate that the lowest and highest average sound level belongs to the station 9 (roadside) with 68.1 dB and station 6 (Kolbeh Koohsar restaurant) with 81.73 dB, respectively. The results show the relatively high distance of sound level in most stations (except station 2) in comparison with the international standards. The average sound level in climbing routes, the equivalent level, and the personal daily dosage were 77.3, 87.69, and 86.44 dB, respectively. Conclusion. Considering conditions of the region, the average time of athlete presence is one hour longer than the allowed time and they are exposed to high noise pollution which can be lead to physiological complications, aggression and temporary changes in the hearing threshold.
