Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Why noise pollution is bad for your heart
Bad news for city dwellers and airport neighbors. There seem to be recognized connections between noise pollution and reduced physical health, particularly heart diseases. Though most of us live in an environment where there are plentiful human-caused noises from cars, constructions, airplanes, and sirens, which all exceed unhealthy noise levels for humans (and probably animals and birds, too). And numbers of studies show the link between such excessive environmental noises and the risk of heart-related problems and cardiovascular illnesses, including built-up plaque in the arteries, high blood pressure, obesity, and diabetes. Much to researchers’ surprise, such health problems seem to occur even after a short period of time, like one night. To make the problem worse, such noisy environments also have air pollutions.
The quick and easy countermeasure that anyone can do is to wear earplugs. Will you bear wearing both earplugs and a face mask to protect yourself from noises and viruses?
Enjoy reading and learning about what noises could do to you.
