Spatial assessment of the attributable burden of disease due to transportation noise in England

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2023
Background: Noise pollution from transportation is one of the leading contributors to the environmental disease burden in Europe. We provide a novel assessment of spatial variations of these health impacts within a country, using England as an example ...

Relationship of Transportation Noise and Annoyance for Two Metropolitan Cities in Korea: Population Based Study.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Transportation noise is known to have negative impact on both public health and life quality. This study evaluated the relationship between transportation noise and annoyance levels, and also the difference of annoyance levels in two metropolitan cities ...

LDP and CLT for SPDEs with transport noise

open access: yesStochastics and Partial Differential Equations: Analysis and Computations, 2023
AbstractIn this work we consider solutions to stochastic partial differential equations with transport noise, which are known to converge, in a suitable scaling limit, to solution of the corresponding deterministic PDE with an additional viscosity term.

Climate Impact Mitigation Potential of European Air Traffic in a Weather Situation with Strong Contrail Formation

open access: yesAerospace, 2021
Air traffic contributes to anthropogenic global warming by about 5% due to CO2 emissions and non-CO2 effects, which are primarily caused by the emission of NOx and water vapor as well as the formation of contrails.

Bureau of Transportation Statistics National Transportation Noise Map Documentation [PDF]

open access: yes
By most forecasts, the U.S. population is projected to grow by over 100 million by 2050. As demand for transportation increases, transportation-related noise will also change.

Assessment of Noise from Transportation Systems in Ilorin, Nigeria

open access: yesNigerian Journal of Technological Development, 2019
Noise from transportation systems is unavoidable in urban areas and can be harmful to human health. The noise generated by selected transportations systems in Ilorin, an urban area in central Nigeria, was studied by direct measurements and the use of ...

Adverse impact of nocturnal transportation noise on glucose regulation in healthy young adults: Effect of different noise scenarios

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2018
Background: Epidemiological evidence indicates an association between transportation noise exposure and a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Sleep disturbances are thought to be one of the mechanisms as it is well established that a few nights of

The Noise of Rail Transport

open access: yesJournal of Physics: Conference Series, 2023
Abstract The research examines the sources of rail transport noise. Noise depends on the type of locomotives, warning signals, maintenance, and construction equipment. The wheel–to–rail contact of the rolling stock and the locomotives’ propulsion systems are the noise sources.

Long-term transportation noise annoyance is associated with subsequent lower levels of physical activity

open access: yesEnvironment International, 2016
Noise annoyance (NA) might lead to behavioral patterns not captured by noise levels, which could reduce physical activity (PA) either directly or through impaired sleep and constitute a noise pathway towards cardiometabolic diseases.

Relationship Analysis between Vegetation and Traffic Noise Pollution: A Case Study Lahore, Pakistan

open access: yesInternational Journal of Economic and Environment Geology, 2021
The problem of exposure to traffic noise pollution is rapidly increasing day by day and is closely associated with the rapid industrialization and urbanization process taking place over the glob (Margaritis and Kang, 2016). Nowadays, more than 54% of the
