Road Traffic Noise - Factors modifying its relation to annoyance and cardiovascular disease
Traffic noise causes annoyance and sleep disturbance and has been linked with several other adverse effects on life quality and health, including increased risk of hypertension and myocardial infarction. Conservative estimates assume that at least one million healthy life years are lost every year …
