Have you ever thought about the affects of traffic noise on our health and quality of life?
According to the upcoming 5th Healthy Cities: Making Cities Liveable Conference, traffic noise causes adverse effects on the health and quality of life of any population exposed to it, including annoyance, sleep disturbance, decreased performance at school/work, stress, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease.
Despite this, there is still a lack of standards on regulations/policies regarding noise in urban environments.
This issue of traffic noise and our health will be discussed at the Making Cities Liveable Conference, which will be held June 6 – 8 in Victoria.
