Social Inequalities in Environmental Noise Exposure: A Review of Evidence in the WHO European Region

Abstract: Environmental noise is an important public health problem, being among the top environmental risks to health. The burden of noise exposure seems to be unequally distributed in societies. Up to now there is fragmentary evidence regarding which social groups are most affected. The aim of this review was to systematically assess published evidence on social inequalities in environmental noise exposure in the WHO European Region, taking different sociodemographic and socioeconomic dimensions as well as subjective … Show more

“…This review focused on distributional justice in terms of equal access to green or blue spaces across all social groups. Evidence from Europe suggests that population groups with a low SEP have a higher exposure towards environmental burdens related to housing conditions or noise and air pollution [1,13,14,15]. On the side of environmental resources, green spaces and their potential health benefits have been increasingly investigated for the last 10 years and evidence suggests that green spaces are associated with better health and health-promoting behaviours [16,17,18].…”

“…DEGS1 und SOEP fanden jedoch keine signifikanten Unterschiede der Lärmbelästigung in Abhängigkeit vom Bildungsstand oder Erwerbsstatus, während wir, ähnlich einer Schweizer Studie [39], eine höhere Lärmbelästigung bei Personen mit höherem Schulabschluss beobachteten. Andere Studien [19,25,33,38] [22].…”

“…Nur teilweise ist diese Belästigung durch objektiv messbare Lärmpegel erklärbar. Tatsächlich ist die Korrelation zwischen den objektiven und subjektiven Maßen der Lärmexposition nur moderat, da sie durch regionale und individuelle Faktoren modifiziert werden kann [11,14,[19][20][21][22]. Mehrere Studien zeigten Assoziationen zwischen Lärmbelästigung und regionalen Faktoren wie der Zusammensetzung der Wohngebiete oder -gemeinden bzw.…”
