“…Furthermore, Carey et al also failed to detect associations with air pollutants and COPD, also likely explained by differences (poor resolution) in exposure assessment. A cross-sectional US study found significantly higher risks of prevalent COPD in participants with self-reported occupational noise exposure [39].…”

BackgroundWhile air pollution has been linked to the development of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), evidence on the role of environmental noise is just emerging. We examined the associations of long-term exposure to air pollution and road traffic noise with COPD incidence.MethodsWe defined COPD incidence for 24 538 female nurses from the Danish Nurse Cohort (age>44 years) as the first hospital contact between baseline (1993 or 1999) and 2015. We estimated residential annual mean concentrations of particulate matter with diameter<2.5 µm (PM2.5) since 1990 and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) since 1970 by the Danish DEHM/UBM/AirGIS modeling system, and road traffic noise (Lden) since 1970 by the Nord2000 model. Time-varying Cox regression models were applied to assess the associations of air pollution and road traffic noise with COPD incidence.Results977 nurses developed COPD during 18.6 years’ mean follow-up. We observed associations with COPD for all three exposures with hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) of 1.19 (1.01, 1.41) per 6.26 µg·m−3 for PM2.5, 1.13 (1.05, 1.20) per 8.19 µg·m−3 for NO2, and 1.15 (1.06, 1.25) per 10 dB for Lden. Associations with NO2 and Lden attenuated slightly after mutual adjustment, but were robust to adjustment for PM2.5. Associations with PM2.5 were attenuated to null after adjustment for either NO2 or Lden. No potential interaction effect was observed between air pollutants and noise.ConclusionsLong-term exposure to air pollution, especially traffic-related NO2, and road traffic noise were independently associated with COPD.

“…Brojne studije preseka i longitudinalna istraživanja objašnjavaju povezanost između saobraćajne buke i respiratornih bolesti kao što su bronhitis, pneumonija i bronhijalna astma. Takođe, postoje i studije koje ukazuju na suprotan efekat buke na radnom mestu na funkciju pluća, dok je moguća i korelacija između većeg psihološkog stresa povezanog sa uticajem buke i hronične bolesti pluća (30).…”

Noise pollution can affect human health and have an influence on daily life on people. Being an unpleasant sound, noise is defined as unwanted sound which can cause auditory and non-auditory effects on human health. Apart from the exposure of noise in the workplace and its consecutive effects, noise as an exogenous stressor in everyday life has a various potential negative impacts on human health, both temporary or permanent. Occupational noise exposure mostly causes hearing loss and tinnitus among workers. The potential negative health effects of noise pollution include psychological distress, sleep disturbances, higher incidence of arterial hypertension and cardiovascular diseases. Also, noise exposure may be associated with an increased incidence of diabetes mellitus, headache, and pulmonary diseases, with possible effects of noise in health centers and hospitals on medical staff and patients. Noise pollution can have specific negative influence on sensitive humans, such as autistic and elderly people. Implementation of the different strategies and educational programs can reduce potential negative effects of noise on human health.

Buka predstavlja značajan problem današnjice. Ljudi su svakodnevno izloženi buci u radnom i životnom okruženju. Izlaganje ljudi buci u procesnoj industriji je posebno značajno jer postoje mnogobrojni izvori buke. Različite mašine proizvode različite zvukove koji mogu da ometaju proces rada. Mnoge studije su ispitivale uticaj buke na zdravlje čoveka. Rezultati istraživanja su pokazali da izlaganje buci može da dovede do ozbiljnog narušavanja fizičkog i mentalnog zdravlja. Nađena je pozitivna povezanost između buke i mnogih bolesti. Buka ima značajan uticaj na kardiovaskularne bolesti. Buka dovodi do povećane prevalencije kardiovaskularnih bolesti. Rezultati studija su pokazali da postoji pozitivna povezanost između buke i srčane frekvencije i hipertenzije. Takođe, nađena je i pozitivna povezanost između buke i atrijalne fibrilacije, ishemijske bolesti srca i infarkta miokarda. Izlaganje buci dovodi do gojaznosti i povećane incidencije dijabetesa. Nađena je i pozitivna povezanost između buke i rizika za hroničnu opstruktivnu bolest pluća. Buka značajno utiče na glavobolju i poremećaj spavanja. Mentalno zdravlje takođe može biti ugroženo. Nađena je pozitivna povezanost između buke i depresije i anksioznosti. Imajući u vidu rezultate studija, buku treba shvatiti kao ozbiljan problem koji ozbiljno može da naruši fizičko i mentalno zdravlje. Naročitu pažnju treba posvetiti ljudima zaposlenim u procesnoj industriji gde izlaganje buci može biti značajno. Izvori zvuka i putevi prenosa zvuka treba da budu u fokusu interesovanja da bi adekvatno mogle da se planiraju mere zaštite i prevencije. Ključne reči: izvori buke; štetni efekti; prevencijaNoise is a significant problem today. People are exposed to noise every day in their living and working environment. The exposure of people to noise in the process industry is particularly significant because there are many sources of noise. Different machines produce different sounds that can interfere with the work process. Many studies have examined the impact of noise on human health. The results of the studies have shown that exposure to noise can lead to a serious disruption of physical and mental health. There was a positive correlation between noise and many diseases. Noise has a significant effect on cardiovascular diseases. Noise leads to an increased prevalence of cardiovascular diseases. The results of studies have shown that there is a positive correlation between noise and heart rate and hypertension. Also, there was a positive correlation between noise and atrial fibrillation, ischemic heart disease and myocardial infarction. Exposure to noise leads to obesity and increased incidence of diabetes. There is also a positive correlation between noise and risk for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Noise significantly affects headache and sleep disorder. Mental health can also be significantly compromised. A positive correlation between noise and depression and anxiety was found. Having in mind the results of the studies, the noise should be understood as a serious probl...
