Impact of short-term aircraft noise on cardiovascular disease risk in the area surrounding London Heathrow airport: the RISTANCO epidemiological study by Xiangpu Gong, Nicole Itzkowitz, Calvin Jephcote, Kathryn Adams, Glory O Atilola, John Gulliver, Marta Blangiardo, Anna Hansell

“…Objectives were: to obtain daily estimates of day and night-time noise average exposure and number of noisy (flight) events for 2014–18 for the population living around London Heathrow airport; to link the noise estimates to cardiovascular hospital admission and mortality data via postcode of residence; to conduct a case-crossover analysis relating daily changes in aircraft noise to cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, taking account of relevant confounders that also change on a day-to-day basis such as temperature and air pollution; to identify relevant interactions for areas with consistent patterns of noise exposure versus those with changing patterns of noise exposure and to explore interactions with age, gender, ethnicity and deprivation. Methods and results Data sources We worked with a specialist noise consultancy that modelled aircraft noise at different times of day, every day from 2014 to 2018, using a standard noise model, the Aviation Environmental Design Tool, for (1) noise levels expressed in decibels as equivalent continuous sound levels (LAeq) for eight time bands, and (2) number of aircraft noise events above defined noise thresholds (2018 only). …”
