The Cost-Effectiveness of Lowering Permissible Noise Levels Around U.S. Airports
Aircraft noise increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases and mental illness. The allowable limit for sound in the vicinity of an airport is 65 decibels (dB) averaged over a 24-h 'day and night' period (DNL) in the United States. We evaluate the trade-off between the cost and the health benefits of changing the regulatory DNL level from 65 dB to 55 dB using a Markov model. The study used LaG...
متن کاملNoise nuisance model for optimizing flight trajectories around airports
This work presents a noise nuisances model that takes into account not only the perceived noise but also the sensibility of the zone where this noise is produced. Several factors are considered, like the activity of the zone (residential, industrial, medical...), the time of the day and day of the week, the environmental noise already existent in the zone, the periodicity of the noise for sever...
متن کاملMaximum Permissible Ambient Noise Levels for Audiometric Test Rooms.
This Standard specifies maximum permissible ambient noise levels (MPANLs) allowed in an audiometric test room that produce negligible masking ( 2 dB) of test signals presented at reference equivalent threshold levels specified in ANSI S3.6-1996 American National Standard Specification of Audiometers. The MPANLs are specified from 125 to 8000 Hz in octave and one-third octave band intervals for ...
متن کاملEnvironmental Impact of the Deregulation of Air-Transport: Evaluation of the Noise Level Around Secondary Airports
In the last decade, Low Cost Carriers (LCCs) have increased greatly, both in terms of number of flights and the number of passengers. This growth has occurred mainly in secondary airports, where air-transport was previously generally private and/or military. The large increase in LCCs coupled with the consolidated urbanization around the secondary airports has caused a substantial problem with ...
متن کاملMaximizing the cost-effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapy.
Cardiovascular disease, including coronary heart disease, is the leading cause of death both in men and in women in the United States. The purpose of this review is to describe the effectiveness of lipid-lowering therapy in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality, which has recently been extended to patients with mild to moderate hypercholesterolemia, and the cost of providing therapy, ...
