One hundred and ninety residents around Frankfurt Airport (46% female; 17-80 years) were interviewed concerning noise annoyance due to transportation (aircraft, road traffic), perceived mental physical health, environmental quality, sensitivity. The aim of the analyses was test whether sensitivity reflects partly general is associated with an elevated susceptibility for perception health. In this study, reported health variables not exposure but annoyance, interpreted reflect nonspecific...
In a survey of 2,312 residents living near Frankfurt Airport aircraft noise annoyance and disturbances as well environmental (EQoL) health-related quality life (HQoL) were assessed compared with data on exposure due to aircraft, road traffic, railway noise. Results indicate higher than predicted from general exposure-response curves. Beside sound levels source-related attitudes associated reactions Furthermore, affected EQoL in general, although much smaller extent. HQoL was annoyance,...
The type of noise annoyance scale and aspects its presentation such as response format or location within a questionnaire other contextual factors may affect self-reported annoyance. By means balanced experimental design, the effect question corresponding (5-point verbal vs. 11-point numerical ICBEN (International Commission on Biological Effects Noise) scale), order points (ascending descending), (early late questionnaire), survey season (autumn spring) reported road traffic was...
The Noise Related Annoyance Cognition and Health (NORAH) research initiative is one of the most extensive studies on physiological psychological long-term effects transportation noise in Europe. It includes quality life annoyance as well cardiovascular effects, sleep disturbance, breast cancer, blood pressure, depression cognitive development children. Within realm module study approximately 10,000 residents Rhine-Main district were surveyed combined noise. This included from aircraft road...
Background and aims This is the first study to examine effect of alcohol marketing exposure on adolescents' drinking in a cross-national context. The aim was reciprocal processes between wide range types adolescent drinking, controlled for non-alcohol branded media exposure. Design Prospective observational (11–12- 14–17-month intervals), using three-wave autoregressive cross-lagged model. Setting School-based sample 181 state-funded schools Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Poland. Participants...
There is increasing evidence that a complex interplay of factors within environments in which children grows up, contributes to children's suboptimal mental health and cognitive development. The concept the life-course exposome helps study impact physical social environment, including inequities, on development over time.Equal-Life develops tests combined exposures their effects Data from eight birth-cohorts three school studies (N = 240.000) linked exposure data, will provide insights...
The Internet is the leading medium among European adolescents in contemporary times; even more time spent on than watching television. This study investigates associations between online alcohol marketing exposure and onset of drinking binge four countries.A total 9038 students with a mean age 14.05 (SD 0.82) participated school-based survey Germany, Italy, Netherlands Poland. Logistic regression analyses cross-sectional cross-country data were undertaken. Exposure to marketing, televised...
Despite being an overall objective of European policies, health equity and environmental justice have not yet been systematically implemented in policies. Taking control over one's environment as element equity, we consider intractable exposure to transportation noise a highly relevant policy field. The Environmental Noise Directive is designed sectoral dealing with one determinant (noise) drawing on the Global Burden Disease framework, whereas demands investigation manifold variations...
Noise from neighbours has been shown to be one of the most noise annoying sources in Germany, but research on influencing factors for annoyance ratings is scarce. Therefore, we investigated whether different personal and contextual (social, physical) contribute neighbour better understand situation. A population-representative survey four areas Germany was conducted, with each area further stratified according their density agglomeration (inner city, urban outskirt, rural area). Randomly...
In 2001, Team#6 of the International Commission on Biological Effects Noise (ICBEN) recommended use two single international standardised questions and response scales. This recommendation has been widely accepted in scientific community. Nevertheless, annoyance can be regarded as a multidimensional construct comprising three elements: (1) experience an often repeated noise-related disturbance behavioural to cope with it, (2) emotional/attitudinal sound its disturbing impact, (3) perceived...
Mental disorders among children and adolescents pose a significant global challenge. The exposome framework covering the totality of internal, social physical exposures over lifetime provides opportunities to better understand causes processes related mental health, cognitive functioning. paper presents conceptual on exposome, development in adolescents, with potential mediating pathways, providing possibility for interventions along life course. underscores significance adopting child...
This article discusses aircraft noise effect assessment with indexes, such as have recently been developed for monitoring purposes at the airports of Zurich and Frankfurt.Aircraft indexesa re instruments that express overall effects ingle figure which reflects total amount people are in some waya ff ected by ap articular airport.By accounting most important measures (such annoyance or awakening reactions)a nd weighting these according to population density each grid point within adefined...
In this paper a measurement model for general noise reaction (GNR) in response to aircraft is developed assess the performance of annoyance and direct measure as indicators concept. For purpose GNR conceptualized superordinate latent construct underlying particular manifestations. This conceptualization empirically tested through estimation second-order factor model. Data from community survey at Frankfurt Airport are used (N = 2206). The data fit hypothesized structure well support...
The use of different noise annoyance scales across studies and socio-acoustic surveys, in particular the popular 5-point verbal 11-point numerical scales, has made evaluation, comparison, pooling responses among a taxing issue. This is particularly case when “high annoyance” (HA) need to be compared original used scales; thus, there are so-called cutoff points that define part scale indicates HA status. paper provides practical guidance on comparing respective data both linear logistic...
Aircraft noise causes a variety of negative health consequences, and annoyance is central factor mediating stress-related risks. Non-acoustic factors play an important role in the experience where aspect fairness assumed to be vital component. This paper describes development Noise-related Fairness Inventory (fAIR-In) examines its factorial validity, construct validity predictive validity. The questionnaire included expert consultations, statements from airport residents large-scale online...
