introduction the current environmental challenges one of the main concern of is humanity. the issue of when more added concern has been associated with complications. research suggests the environmental challenges are rooted in factors in the different levels of global, regional and local levels are considered. in this case although many studies have been in different aspects of urban environme...

An increasing number of people live near airports with considerable noise and air pollution. The Hypertension and Exposure to Noise near Airports (HYENA) project aims to assess the impact of airport-related noise exposure on blood pressure (BP) and cardiovascular disease using a cross-sectional study design. We selected 6,000 persons (45-70 years of age) who had lived at least 5 years near one ...

This study explores the determinants of health status and the effects of the air and noise pollution on health status in Turkey during the period 2006-2012. The additional costs associated with their impact on health status are estimated. A pseudo panel data created based on age and region cohorts and two and three stage least squares instrumental variables approaches are followed using wind di...

This study aimed to describe the degree of annoyance among pregnant women in a Spanish cohort and to examine associations with proximity to traffic, NO2 and benzene exposure. We included 2457 participants from the Spanish Childhood and Environment study. Individual exposures to outdoor NO2 and benzene were estimated, temporally adjusted for pregnancy. Interviews about sociodemographic variables...

Background: Noise pollution is the third most dangerous risk factor for human health after air and water pollution. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of noise pollution on sleep disturbance among Neyshabur governmental teaching hospital staff, Iran, in 2015. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted in winter 2015. The sample size was 261 people from 2 hosp...

Environmental studies of motor vehicles typically focus on air pollution or noise, but ignore water pollution. In this paper, we examine some of the impacts of motor vehicle transportation on non-point source and on groundwater pollution. Our estimates of the present value of costs for cleaning up leaking underground storage tanks and for controlling highway runoff for major arterials range fro...

background: educational centers have higher standards for controlling noise pollution as it has been shown that noise pollution is a major cause of discomfort for teachers and students. noise pollution reduces concentration, interferes in the conversation, and leads to dropouts and lower grades especially in mathematics. the present study aimed to evaluate noise pollution in the schools of birj...

To provide quantitative evidence of the impact on people of a neighboring metropolitan airport, La Guardia Airport (LGA) in New York City, (1) airborne particulate matter (PM) was measured to determine whether concentration differences could be detected between homes that are upwind and downwind of the airport; (2) 24-hr noise measurements were made in 12 homes near the airport; and (3) the imp...
