Title: Aircraft noise 'link' to stroke and heart disease deaths
Post by: mhm on October 09, 2013, 06:33:39 AM
The risks of stroke, heart and circulatory disease are higher in areas with a lot of aircraft noise, researchers say.

Their study of 3.6 million residents near Heathrow Airport suggested the risks were 10-20% higher in areas with the highest levels of aircraft noise.

The team's findings are published in the British Medical Journal.

They agreed with other experts that noise was not necessarily to blame and more work was needed.

So they'll get more research funding. Says it all really.
