Noise pollution affecting children(or adults) in negatives ways is not an exactly an original claim that the paper make nor is it the first one to say so.
It would be like a paper claiming that exercise is good for you, which is heavily supported by robust evidence and mountain of papers.
- karaterobot 2y agoAs I said, it's not really a question of whether noise pollution has negative effects, the thing they should have tried to demonstrate was that a lot of students are currently, in reality, being affected by it. In your analogy, it's like they're saying that slippery kettlebells are extremely dangerous—people can really get hurt by them—and shouldn't somebody do something to make sure kettlebells aren't slippery? Nobody's doubting that dropping a kettlebell on your foot would be bad, the question is whether slippery kettlebells are a plague that's ruining today's gyms or not. Maybe it really is a problem, but you've got to address that point. You can't just go from "a hypothetical threat exists" to "let's take drastic steps to solve it".
