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...

“…However, the impacts of the remaining factors are lower compared with traffic noise, in terms of noise levels and amount of annoyance for individuals. On the basis of the conducted studies, noise pollution can have various effects on health, including hypertension, risk of heart disease, impact on sleep, psychological effects, annoyance and disruption of daily activities, fatigue, decreased performance in school children, interference with daily life and other effects (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7). The impacts of noise pollution on peoples' sleep and health have been confirmed by various laboratory, field, epidemiology and review studies (8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14).…”

Background: Noise pollution is one of the most important problems of both developed and developing countries, especially in the recent decades, and is being exacerbated with industrialization and population growth. Objectives: The purpose of this study was to measure traffic noise pollution in Tabriz city and to evaluate its associated costs by applying the top-down method. Awareness about health costs associated with traffic noise could have great impacts on decision-making for traffic noise control measures. Materials and Methods:In order to obtain the noise level (L den ) at various hours of each day, noise level was first measured at 35 stations in 10 Regions of the city, during the morning, afternoon and night. Second, to obtain the number of people with a certain level of exposer to noise (L den ), the annoyance levels due to traffic noise were assessed by collecting a questionnaire from 300 residents. Results: Based on the study results, divisions eight, nine and two of the city (refer to the municipal division of the cities in Iran) had the highest L den value, with 74.5, 73.5 and 71 dB, respectively. Also, the questionnaire results indicated that 60% of the residents declared medium and high level of annoyance, due to traffic noise. Finally, the calculated cost was equal to 119 926 467 Euros (€). However most costs, namely € 24 727 290, were allocated to region three with the highest population, in spite of a relatively low L den (68.4 dB). Conclusions: Since traffic noise pollution is a high cost for Tabriz residents, extensive preventive measures and comprehensive control programs by managers and city authorities as unavoidable necessities are suggested. The measures have to be taken by urban managers and decision-makers to reduce the health impact of traffic noise on Tabriz residents.

“…Data show that exposure to traffic noise, not specifically at night, is associated with increased incidence of diabetes [17], hypertension [24], as well as increased incidence and mortality from coronary heart disease [25], [26]. In their study, Orban et al, [27], concluded that long-term exposure to road traffic noise may increase the risk of depressive symptoms.…”

To check the noise levels in the industry and commercial areas in Kumasi Metropolitan area, bus terminals and timber industries were selected and investigated. Measurements of daytime noise levels was carried out in three bus terminals and two timber industries, using DT-8852 Precision digital sound level meter. The three bus terminals were the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) Junction, Anloga Junction and Kejetia. The results showed that they had daytime noise levels of 78.8 dBA, 72.1 dBA and 78.3 dBA respectively. For the two timber industries, company A and B, their day time noise levels were 84.1 dBA and 82.4 dBA. Comparing the results with the Ghana Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) standards, the three bus terminals had their day time noise levels exceeding the permissible levels by 8.8 dBA, 2.1 dBA and 8.3 dBA respectively, while the timber industries had their day time noise levels exceeding the permissible levels by 14.1 dBA and 12.4 dBA respectively. The levels are alarming therefore it is recommended that the public be made aware of the adverse effects of noise pollution and necessary law enforcement steps taken to check it.
