The European Region of the World Health Organization (WHO) recently published revised recommendations for transportation noise exposure intended to limit adverse health effects. WHO's newly recommended “safe” limit for aircraft noise exposure is about an order of magnitude lower than the limits currently adopted by most European countries. WHO defines “safe exposure” as the level corresponding to an annoyance prevalence rate of 10% highly annoyed. The revised recommendations are based on a limited selection of post-2000 publications. About half of the cited studies rely on nonstandard questionnaires, respondent selection, and definitions of annoyance prevalence rates which over-estimate annoyance. A re-analysis of a larger and more representative selection of studies that relies on standard procedures shows that no meaningful changes in prevalence rates of high annoyance with aircraft noise have occurred and that existing evidence does not support WHO's revised recommendations.

现有证据不支持世界卫生组织的最新法规建议。

世界卫生组织(WHO)欧洲地区最近发布了修订版的运输噪声暴露建议,旨在限制不良健康影响。世卫组织新建议的飞机噪声暴露“安全”限值比大多数欧洲国家目前采用的限值低约一个数量级。世卫组织将“安全暴露”定义为与高度highly恼的10%的烦恼患病率相对应的水平。修订后的建议是基于2000年后出版物的精选。被引用的研究中约有一半依赖于非标准的调查表,受访者的选择以及过高估计烦恼的烦恼患病率的定义。
