The aircraft, decibels and heart health

When this morning jogging, several planes flew overhead, some of them so close to hear their engines over the music plays on my mp3 player.

Noise has adverse effects on health, from the ear to heart. The previous post was discussed, as noise in the workplace may increase the risk of heart attack. But it is not only working noise, which we may obtain.On the spot, we live in, there are environmental noise and this usually comes from the noise of traffic, whether land or air transport.

Previous research in Germany has shown that people living close to the main airport have a much higher risk for cardiovascular mortality. However, it was not so easy to pinpoint the exact source of the xxx, due to the many contributing factors, including air pollution.

Now the Swiss researchers at the University of Bern uses noise and air pollution geospatial models that cannot be resolved between the effects of these contributing factors.Their research results indicate that the traffic noise of air, which contributes in particular to the increased cardiovascular risk.

On the basis of data from the ongoing longitudinal study of the Swiss national cohort, to approximately 4.6 million adults:

The results of these studies are very important for me and my family, we used to live near the largest airport in Germany (Frankfurt), and now the largest airport in Switzerland (Zurich), our current place of residence is particularly close, just 10 minutes by car, 20 minutes by bus, 5 minutes by train and a clear day, we can see our House from the plane, depending on the flight path and the direction of the wind.

It is not always possible to select the perfect place of residence. good job are in large cities and larger towns means large airports My husband does not have many. travel and as a family we do a lot of holiday travel by air. they live near the main airport has its own advantages, but also some disadvantages in the manifest.

However, air travel, airports are part of modern life and we can't do without them But we can do a lot. from the point of the reduction of our cardiovascular diseases. we determine the risk cannot be always, where we live and we will certainly be established but how we live.
