Evidence for Environmental Noise Effects on Health for the United Kingdom Policy Context: A Systematic Review of the Effects of Environmental Noise on Mental Health, Wellbeing, Quality of Life, Cancer, Dementia, Birth, Reproductive Outcomes, and Cognition

International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2020
This systematic review commissioned by the UK Department for the Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra), considers how the evidence base for noise effects on health has changed following the recent reviews undertaken for the WHO Environmental Noise ...

Environmental Noise [PDF]

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 1971
Eleven papers were presented in the session on environmental noise. Six of these included general discussions of engineering approaches for evaluating and controlling environmental noise (Franken, Goodfriend, Chalupnik, Karplus, Nowikas, and Senko).

Decoherence of adiabatically steered quantum systems [PDF]

, 2010
We study the effect of Markovian environmental noise on the dynamics of a two-level quantum system which is steered adiabatically by an external driving field.

Pro-inflammatory effects of crystalline- and nano-sized non-crystalline silica particles in a 3D alveolar model

Particle and Fibre Toxicology, 2020
Background Silica nanoparticles (SiNPs) are among the most widely manufactured and used nanoparticles. Concerns about potential health effects of SiNPs have therefore risen. Using a 3D tri-culture model of the alveolar lung barrier we examined effects of

Application of Machine Learning Algorithms for Geogenic Radon Potential Mapping in Danyang-Gun, South Korea

Frontiers in Environmental Science, 2021
Continuous generation of radon gas by soil and rocks rich in components of the uranium chain, along with prolonged inhalation of radon progeny in enclosed spaces, can lead to severe respiratory diseases.

Clock transition by continuous dynamical decoupling of a three-level system [PDF]

, 2018
We present a novel continuous dynamical decoupling scheme for the construction of a robust qubit in a three-level system. By means of a clock transition adjustment, we first show how robustness to environmental noise is achieved, while eliminating drive ...

Geographic Ecological Momentary Assessment (GEMA) of environmental noise annoyance: the influence of activity context and the daily acoustic environment

International Journal of Health Geographics, 2020
Background Noise annoyance is considered to be the most widespread and recognized health effect of environmental noise. Previous research is mostly based on the static study of residential environmental noise, but few studies have focused on the effects ...
