【EHS英文】为何住在机场附近可能有损健康?( 五 )

此前的研究已经暗示嘈杂的环境与高血压之间存在某种关联,嘈杂的噪音可以致使人们在短期内血压升高,而长久暴露在嘈杂噪音中可以导致更多的长期的风险。科学家也提出夜间的飞机噪音会打扰人们的睡眠,这也是产生心脏病风险的另一个因素。

Although health leaders in the UK stopped short of confirming a causal link between aircraft noise and heart problems, the studies show a strong association, which they said should be taken into account in future plans to expand airport capacity.

尽管英国的健康方面的领导人并没有确定机场噪音与心脏病之间存在因果关系,但研究给人以充足的联想,这也是他们所说的在未来扩大机场容量时应该被考虑。

The findings come just days after the chairman of the Airports Commission Sir Howard Davies, the man tasked with solving the problem of the South East of England’s airport capacity, said that he would consider adding a third runway at Heathrow and a second runway at Gatwick.
