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

“…Finally, we assessed whether areas prone to changing aircraft noise patterns (i.e. with relief periods from aircraft noise) affected the increased risk of cardiovascular disease in areas with higher noise in the evenings and found the higher risks were only seen in areas with more constant noise levels. More research is needed to investigate potential health benefits of relief periods with lower noise. …”
