Too much noise can damage cardiovascular health

Excessive noise has a direct impact on cardiovascular disease.

Too much noise can damage cardiovascular health

The WHO estimates that noise from road traffic increases the risk of coronary heart disease by 8% every 10 dB, from 50 dB upwards. According to Prof. Bernard Pierre, continuous or regular exposure to excessive noise can lead to stress in some people, which increases heart rate and can lead to metabolic disorders, inflammation of the arterial wall and the risk of thrombosis. In Le Figaro, Pauline Freour adds that noise also damages health on other levels, notably by disrupting sleep. Poor night's sleep is also a risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The effects of noise pollution are the subject of a growing body of research.
