Download or read book Noise Induced Sleep Disturbance in Residences Near Two Civil Airports written by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-18 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A large-scale field study of noise-induced sleep disturbance was conducted in the vicinities of Stapleton International Airport (DEN) and Denver International Airport (DIA) in anticipation of the closure of the former and opening of the latter. Both indoor and outdoor measurements of aircraft and other nighttime noises were made during four time periods. Measurements were made in 57 homes located as close as feasible to the runway ends of the two airports. Sleep disturbance was measured by several indices of behaviorally confirmed awakening (button pushes upon awakening) and body movement (as measured with wrist-worn actimeters). A total of 2717 subject-nights of observations were made over the course of the study. Although average noise event levels measured outdoors decreased markedly at DEN after closure of the airport and increased slightly at DIA after its opening, indoor noise event levels varied much less in homes near both airports. No large differences were observed in noise-induced sleep disturbance at either airport. Indoor sound exposure levels of noise events were, however, closely related to and good predictors of actimetrically defined motility and arousal.

This book was released on 1994 with total page 108 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present study observed the effects of nighttime noise exposure on the in-home sleep of residents of neighbourhoods near one military airbase and one civil airport, and in several households with negligible nighttime aircraft noise exposure. Test participants pressed a button upon awakening for any reason, whatsoever, after retiring for the evening. A total of 1887 subject-nights of data were collected. A statistically reliable relationship was observed between sound exposure levels of noise intrusions in sleeping quarters and behaviorally confirmed awakenings. The average rate of spontaneous (non-noise related) awakenings among test participants at all sites was approximately two per night.

Book excerpt: Aviation is integral to the global economy but it is also one of the main obstacles to environmentally sustainable development. It is one of the world's fastest growing - and most polluting - industries. What can be done to retain the economic and other benefits it brings, without the associated pollution, noise, congestion and loss of countryside? In this volume, industry, policy and research experts examine how to address the problems, and what it would take to achieve genuinely sustainable aviation - looking at technological, policy and demand-management options. Without far-reaching changes the problems caused by aviation can only multiply and worsen. This work seeks to take an important step in diagnosing the problems and in pointing towards their solutions.
