The Silent Health Threat Affecting Thousands Across Europe
Understanding Noise Pollution: Noise pollution is unwanted or harmful sound that disrupts daily life. Common sources include road traffic, trains, airplanes, construction, and busy urban areas. While many people see noise as an annoyance, long-term exposure can harm the body in serious ways. Across Europe, noise pollution is now recognized as a major environmental health risk. Health agencies estimate that up to 11,000 people die prematurely each year due to long-term exposure to high noise levels.
