Makes sense I remember reading a study in the Netherlands that people next to a busy road had polution level that were equivalent to smoking a pack a day. Also the constant sound lowered life quality substantially. That’s why they put up these sound barriers in the Netherlands. With more efficient cars I wonder if it got any better.
- blunte 6y agoNoise pollution is surely a contributor to mental and perhaps even physical problems, but it seems to be very low priority. Also, I would assume that people who are exposed to higher air pollution from vehicles are likewise exposed to more noise. Personally, stupidly loud motorcycles driving through my village make me want to hurt the riders, and I'm normally a gentle person. Thus, noise pollution greatly contributes to mental disorder for me!
