Abstract
Noise in the workplace has traditionally been linked to both auditory and non-auditory disorders in people exposed. Recently the noise around airports has been linked to di erent pathologies, primarily cardiovascular-related. In recent years, environmental noise in large cities, due, to a large extent, to tra c, has been linked to various cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, and even to diabetes. In this article, in addition to giving a brief description of studies linking ambient noise and morbidity and of the di erent biological mechanisms involved that may explain these associations, we present the results of a series of studies which link by means of time-series analysis link tra c noise in the city of Madrid and daily mortality for cardiovascular, respiratory and diabetes-related reasons in the group of 65+ year-olds, as well as the annual mortality attributable to tra c noise in Madrid and its comparison with that attributable to PM2.5.The articles published in this journal are subject to the following terms and conditions:
