in categoriile: Science communication People who live in areas with high levels of noise caused by road traffic may be more prone to heart attacks than people who live in quiet regions. At least so claim researchers from Karolinska Institutet who developed the scientific study in the Stockholm area. The study compared more than 1500 Swedes between the years 1992-1994 who had suffered a heart attack. At the same time, recorded measurements of noise levels for the past 20 years and the degree of air pollution were also taken into account.
