Exposure to long-term source-specific transportation noise and incident breast cancer: A pooled study of eight Nordic cohorts

Environment International, 2023
Background: Environmental noise is an important environmental exposure that can affect health. An association between transportation noise and breast cancer incidence has been suggested, although current evidence is limited.

Problems of Railway Noise—A Case Study [PDF]

International Journal of Occupational Safety and Ergonomics, 2011
Under Directive 2002/49/EC relating to the assessment and management of environmental noise, all European countries are obliged to model their environmental noise levels in heavily populated areas. Some countries have their own national method, to predict noise but most have not created one yet.

Evaluation of the effect of wheel tread condition on the dynamic response of PC sleepers

Nihon Kikai Gakkai ronbunshu
Prestressed concrete sleepers (PC sleepers) are an important component of railway tracks. The dynamic response of PC sleepers to passing trains is influenced by various factors relating to the vehicles and tracks. However, few studies have quantitatively
