Residents living near major airports, exposed to high levels of aircraft noise, may face a significantly higher risk of serious heart conditions, reveals a UCL study.

The research, which involved heart imaging of individuals from airport-adjacent areas, found that elevated noise levels can lead to stiffer heart muscles and poorer heart function, particularly due to nighttime exposure which disrupts sleep and elevates stress.

Impact of Aircraft Noise on Heart Health

People living near airports and exposed to high levels of aircraft noise may face a greater risk of poor heart function, which can increase the chances of heart attacks, life-threatening irregular heart rhythms, and strokes. This finding comes from a new study led by researchers at University College London (UCL).

The study, published today (January 8) in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology (JACC), analyzed detailed heart imaging data from 3,635 individuals residing near four major airports in England.

Researchers compared the heart health of participants living in areas with high aircraft noise levels to those in quieter neighborhoods, uncovering significant differences linked to noise exposure.

In Burlington, VT we had a multi-year contentious dispute with the US wanting to base the new F35's in the airport right in the heart of the most populated area of Vermont.

Of course the Air Force won and whole sections of residences had to be abandoned.
