Spatial assessment of the attributable burden of disease due to transportation noise in England

Estimates of the Burden of Disease Due to Transportation Noise in England

“…Here, we summarise the main findings from Jephcote et al (2023) 1 . We also present some of the original sensitivity analyses examining the impact of using alternative noise modelling techniques and ERRs, and new sensitivity analyses in relation to using ERRs for aviation noise annoyance derived from a UK socio-acoustic study.…”

“…To calculate a PAF, the exposure distribution within a population, as well the relative risk of disease due to exposure, must be known. See Jephcote et al 1 for further details.…”

“…Parts of this article are taken from Jephcote C, Clark SN, Hansell AL, et al Spatial assessment of the attributable burden of disease due to transportation noise in England. Environment International 2023:107966 1 , in which Sierra Clark and Benjamin Fenech were joint first and senior authors, respectively.…”

Health position paper and redox perspectives - Disease burden by transportation noise

“…Updated knowledge of the causal association between noise and various health outcomes from high-quality studies is an important pillar in health impact assessment. Only a limited number of studies have estimated the disease burden due to environmental noise [ [174] , [175] , [176] , [177] , [178] , [179] , [180] ], and these studies often differ in methodological aspects, which makes comparison across areas and studies difficult. To estimate DALYs, several input parameters are required.…”

“…Another recent BoD study estimated DALYs from HA, HSD, IHD, stroke, and diabetes attributable to long-term transportation noise exposures in England for the adult population in 2018. It was concluded that ∼97,000 DALYs are lost due to road traffic, ∼13,000 due to railway, and ∼17,000 due to aircraft noise [ 180 ].…”
