Air pollution and traffic noise is linked to hypertension!
Researchers at European Society of Cardiology (ESC) investigated the effects of both air pollution and traffic noise by following over 41,000 people in five different countries for five to nine years.
A total of 41,072 people living in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and Spain participated in the study, which was part of the “European Study of Cohorts for Air Pollution Effects” (ESCAPE) project that is investigating long-term effects of exposure to air pollution on human health in Europe.
The study found that air pollution and noise is associated with an increase in cases of hypertension. Both the air pollution and noise affect different, or not completely overlapping, pathways involved in disturbances in the way the body normally functions.
