论文摘要
噪声污染被认为是世界卫生组织（WHO）之后的第三大危险污染和水污染。短期和长期暴露于噪声污染对人类的不利影响，包括焦虑和抑郁，高血压，激素功能障碍以及血压升高等精神疾病，导致心血管疾病。噪声污染的主要来源之一是道路交通。世卫组织报告说，目前约有40％的欧洲人口处于高噪音水平。这项研究调查了爱尔兰都柏林的噪声污染，在锁定期间施加锁定之前和之后。使用来自12个噪声监测站的2020小时数据进行分析。超过80％的电台记录了高噪声水平，比都柏林锁定之前的60％的时间更多。但是，在锁定期间，所有站点都观察到平均和最小噪声水平的平均水平显着降低，这可以归因于道路和空中交通流动的减少。
Noise pollution is considered to be the third most hazardous pollution after air and water pollution by the World Health Organization (WHO). Short as well as long-term exposure to noise pollution has several adverse effects on humans, ranging from psychiatric disorders such as anxiety and depression, hypertension, hormonal dysfunction, and blood pressure rise leading to cardiovascular disease. One of the major sources of noise pollution is road traffic. The WHO reports that around 40% of Europe's population are currently exposed to high noise levels. This study investigates noise pollution in Dublin, Ireland before and after the lockdown imposed as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The analysis was performed using 2020 hourly data from 12 noise monitoring stations. More than 80% of stations recorded high noise levels for more that 60% of the time before the lockdown in Dublin. However, a significant reduction in average and minimum noise levels was observed at all stations during the lockdown period and this can be attributed to reductions in both road and air traffic movements.
