Introduction

– Aircraft noise, the most health-threatening source of noise pollution among all modes of transport, is a stressor with identifiable effects on occupants' well-being and social behavior at airports and environs.

Methods

– This aircraft noise-induced psychosocial health assessment utilized C-weighting to capture peak noise levels with self-reported primary data from a sample size (n = 402) of individuals ages at least 18 years old.

Results

– The significant contributive powers of distances to the effective aircraft's noise strength experienced were confirmed (p = 0.024). The study reveals that the higher the participants' educational attainment, the higher the likelihood (p = 1 × 10^-4) they are annoyed by aircraft noise. Duration of occupying the airport's environs contributes significantly (p = 0.007). For psychosocial ill-health, a linear periodic-exposure-risk relationship for migraines was found with low risk-estimates of [0.032 (95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.006–0.175)] and an intense probability of occurrence (p = 1 × 10^-4) during afternoon intervals. With age as a confounding factor, statistical significance was recorded for plausibly hypertension-induced high-blood pressure, depression, and stress. Further, gradients were evidenced at different periods for approximately half of the ailments investigated.

Conclusions

– Participants were mostly moderately affected psychosocially at different periods of the day by exposure to peak aircraft noise. Thus, it is concluded that noise mitigative and coping strategies be advised to authorities and occupants working or living at airports and environs.

飞机噪音对社会心理健康的影响

介绍

– 飞机噪音是所有交通方式中对健康威胁最大的噪音污染源，它是一种压力源，对机场和周边地区的乘客的福祉和社会行为产生明显影响。

方法

– 该飞机噪声引起的社会心理健康评估利用 C 加权来捕获峰值噪声水平，并从年龄至少为 18 岁的个人样本大小 (n = 402) 中获得自我报告的原始数据。

结果

– 距离对所经历的有效飞机噪声强度的显着影响已得到证实（p  = 0.024）。研究表明，参与者的教育程度越高， 他们对飞机噪音感到恼火的可能性就越大（p = 1 × 10^-4）。占用机场周边的持续时间有显着影响（p  = 0.007）。对于社会心理健康不良，发现偏头痛的线性周期性暴露风险关系具有 [0.032（95% 置信区间 (CI) = 0.006–0.175）] 的低风险估计和发生的高概率 ( p = 1 × 10^-4) 在下午的时间间隔内。将年龄作为混杂因素，对于可能由高血压引起的高血压、抑郁和压力，记录了统计学显着性。此外，在所研究的大约一半的疾病中，梯度在不同时期得到证实。

结论

– 参与者在一天中的不同时段因暴露于飞机噪音峰值而受到中度社会心理影响。因此，得出的结论是，应向在机场和周边地区工作或生活的当局和居住者建议减噪和应对策略。
