“…This has led to a focus on the subjective experience of noise -rather than the noise's objective characteristics (Passchier-Vermeer, & Passchier, 2000;Stansfeld, Haines & Brown, 2000). Critical factors in producing 'noise annoyance' (Guski, Felscher-Suhr, Schuemer, 1999) include the extent to which ordinary activities are disrupted, the extent to which people have control over the noise source, and the extent to which people are subject to other environmental and personal stressors (Cohen, Evans, Stokols, & Krantz, 1986;Evans & Cohen, 1987;Gidlof-Gunnarsson & Ohrstrom, 2007;Leather, Beale & Sullivan, 2003;Lepore & Evans, 1996;Wallenius, 2004).…”

“…Je to primárna emocionálna reakcia, môže však vznikať nielen priamym vní-maním hluku ale aj druhotne, v dôsledku toho, že hluk interferuje s vykonávanou alebo zamýšľanou činnosťou, alebo vyvoláva nepríjemné pocity (24)(25)(26).…”

SÚHRNRastúci vplyv expozície environmentálnemu hluku a jeho vplyv na zdravie, patrí k významným problémom súčasnej doby. Týka sa to predovšetkým obyvateľstva, žijúceho v mestských aglomeráciách s vysokou hladinou environmentálneho hluku. Príčinou tohto nežiaduceho javu je najmä narastajúca doprava a priemysel. Hladiny hluku narastajú nielen v niektorých typických pracovných prevádzkach, ale obťažujú ľudí už aj pri rekreácii, oddychu, či spoločenských aktivitách. Tento negatívny faktor životného prostredia sa odlišuje od iných škodlivín tým, že sa jeho hladiny stále zvyšujú a pôsobí na človeka neustále, teda aj v čase určenom na relaxáciu ako napríklad pri spánku. Z verejno-zdravotníckeho hľadiska je významné, že rušivé pôsobenie environmentálneho hluku sa prejavuje neskôr rastúcim rizikom chronických ochorení, ktoré majú priamu súvislosť s poruchami spánku a iných funkcií vo vegetatívnej, endokrinnej a regulačnej sfére. Cieľom tejto prehľadovej práce je zosumarizovať aktuálne poznatky o škodlivých sluchových a nesluchových účinkoch environmentálneho hluku, ktoré bude možné využiť pri kvantifikácií rizika ako aj pri pláno-vaní preventívnych opatrení.Klíčová slova: hluk -expozícia, prevencia hluku, prostredie životné -vplyv na zdravie SUMMARYThe growing impact of environmental noise exposure on health is a major problems of our times. It particularly concerns the urban population living in areas with high levels of environmental noise. Increased levels of traffic and industrial activity are the major causative factors of this phenomenon. Increased noise levels cause interpersonal problems not only in occcupational settings, but during recreation, leisure, and social activities. This negative environmental factor differs from others in specifically affecting sleep and relentlessly increasing. In terms of public health, the disturbing effects of environmental noise manifest in increased risk of chronic diseases dircetly associated with sleep disorders and other vegetative, endocrine and regulatory functions. The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge about the harmful auditory and non-auditory effects of environmental noise, which can be used in the risk quantification and planning of preventive measures.Key words: noise -exposure, noise prevention, environment -health effects Hluk vždy predstavoval dôležitý problém životné-ho prostredia. Hodnotenie rizika hlukovej expozície predstavuje mimoriadne naliehavý problém v dôsled-ku enormného nárastu akustickej energie. V porovnaní s inými znečisťujúcimi látkami hluk nepôsobí okamži-te, jeho hladiny sa neustále zvyšujú a pôsobí na člove-ka neustále, teda aj v čase určenom na relaxáciu. Kontrole environmentálneho hluku bráni spoločenská nenahraditeľnosť dopravy a to, že v mnohých prípadoch neexistujú technické možnosti, ako účinne tlmiť hluk.Hluková záťaž populácie pochádza v 40 % z pracovného a 60 % z mimopracovného prostredia. V sídelných aglomeráciách v mimopracovnom prostredí prevažuje hluk z dopravy, pričom hladiny tohto tzv. komunálne-ho hluku sa pohybu...

“…There are different definitions of noise and odour annoyance, but the most common view of both is that they are indicators of nuisance, disturbance or disruption to intended or actual activities (Griffiths, 2014;Guski et al, 1999;Naddeo et al, 2012a).…”

Different land uses, infrastructures, industrial activities and residential patterns of developed cities expose simultaneously people to several annoying sources.Over recent years, the European Union has provided several tools to harmonize noise mapping methodologies and relative Noise Action Plans through directives. Unfortunately, the same effort has not been made for the harmonization of approaches of other annoying sources such as odours. As a consequence, each European Member State has defined its own direct or indirect approach to limit odour impacts.The most common approach to deal with noise impact is the use of priority indices to highlight areas that are sensitive to both noise and, generally, odour impacts. The aim of the present research is to provide a brief review of the most widely used European strategies in noise action plans as well as try to extend the approaches to the definition of a nuisance action plan, capable of controlling both odour and noise. The analysis underlines that is possible to define the degree of sensitivity of areas according to population, land uses, levels of exposures and/or distance from the annoying sources. Nuisance acceptability levels are then definable according to the sensitivity degree of the locations.
