Research Shows Aircraft Noise Raises Blood Pressure Even During Sleep

We are all aware of the disturbance that aircraft cause to the local residents that live near airports. However recent research has indicated that even when residents are asleep the noise can raise their blood pressure and causes stress.

This is not just reserved for aircraft noise however as passing traffic and other noises can raise blood pressure during sleep and the pattern follows that the louder the noise the higher the blood pressure goes which can be very damaging to health.

The findings were made from tests carried out on 140 local residents of Heathrow Airport as well as some European countries such as Athens, Milan and Stockholm.

The results were backed up by previous results obtained from similar studies carried out lending support to those campaigning for reduced noise levels for residents living near airports.
