Bern-Sana

Experts have warned that living with a busy flight path could have disadvantages that go beyond depreciating your property, it may increase the risk of dying from a heart attack.

Researchers from Switzerland analyzed thousands of deaths from cardiovascular disease in the area around Zurich Airport from 2000 to 2015.

The British newspaper Daily Mail quoted researchers as saying that people who were exposed to night noise in the range of 40 to 50 decibels, similar to the buzzing of the refrigerator, were more likely to have heart failure by a third, noting that for those exposed to infection, the effect of airplanes flying over them, just like bouts of intense emotion, leads to Death in just two hours.

"We found that aircraft noise contributed to nearly 800 deaths out of 25,000 cardiovascular deaths that occurred between 2000 and 2015 near Zurich airport, and this represents three percent of all cardiac deaths," said epidemiologist Martin Russell from the Swiss Institute for Tropical and Public Health. The observed angiogenesis.

Previous research has found that noise pollution is responsible for approximately 48,000 cases of ischemic or "coronary" heart disease across Europe every year.

The researchers used a so-called "state crossover" model to determine if noise exposure around the time of death was unusually high compared to sound levels at other randomly selected times.

The model combined a record of all aircraft movements in and out of Zurich airport during the 15-year study period with pre-existing accounts of noise exposure from different aircraft and travel on specific routes at different times.

Using this temporal analysis approach, we can isolate the effect of unusually high or low noise levels on mortality from other factors. The team's model suggested that the risk of cardiovascular death increases by 33 percent for those individuals exposed to nocturnal noise in the range of 40 to 50 decibels, equivalent to the sound of a refrigerator. During operation.

For comparison, exposure to noise exceeding 85 decibels, such as hair dryers, mixers, and electrical appliances, continuously for more than 30 minutes can lead to permanent hearing loss.
