Abstract

The aim of the study was to assess the health risks of urban population caused by the impact of traffic noise. The quantitative risk assessment was carried out in accordance with the methodological recommendations of MP 2.1.10.0059-12 «Assessment of the risk to public health from the effects of traffic noise». It was found that in 14 out of 16 noise control points, hygienic standards (maximum permissible sound levels) exceeded both day and night time. The results of the calculations showed that the risk of disrupting the health of the urban population at existing noise levels from road transport exceeds acceptable values. The highest risk indicators for health from the effects of transport noise are characteristic of diseases of the cardiovascular system. As the age (probable duration of the exposure time) increases from 10 to 35 years, the risk level is estimated as average (the risk ranges from 0.051 to 0.342 units), from 40 to 45 years – as high (from 0.352 to 0.591), from 50 to 70 years – as extreme (from 0.607 to 1). In problem areas it is advisable to carry out measures to protect the population from traffic noise.
