The Impact of Noise on Health

Noise pollution is a growing concern in today’s fast-paced, industrialised world. According to the World Health Organisation (WHO), noise is an underestimated threat that can cause a range of health problems, from stress-related illnesses to heart disease and cognitive impairment.

A study by the European Environment Agency (EEA) found that noise pollution is responsible for 16,600 premature deaths and 72,000 hospital admissions each year in Europe alone. Furthermore, the EEA estimates that 40% of Europe’s population is exposed to road traffic noise above the WHO’s guideline levels, leading to a range of health issues including sleep disturbance, cardiovascular diseases, cognitive impairment, and mental health problems.

Understanding Noise Measurement

Given the significant impact of noise on health, it’s crucial for site, survey, and safety managers to understand and effectively manage noise levels. This is where noise measurement comes into play.

Noise measurement is the process of quantifying sound levels using specialised equipment. This data can then be used to assess the potential impact of noise on health and to develop strategies to mitigate these effects. Accudata Ltd offers a range of noise measurement equipment for hire, including the Cirrus range of sound level meters and noise dosimeters.
