Scientists have found a link between the noise of cars, dirty air and high blood pressure

in science •  8 years ago 

I had read a study recently that said people that experience daily noise pollution (like living next to a busy street) have on average higher blood pressure then those who do not experience the noise. I don't remember it being a European study, so I think it was different from the ones you site. Nevertheless this is quite interesting, and makes me wonder exactly what is the biological mechanism behind it. Why does excess noise lead to higher blood pressure?
