“…per 10 dB L den for IHD following exposure to noise from road traffic (van Kempen et al, 2017). In our study, the overall result was comparable to a recent Swedish cohort study on myocardial infarction and road traffic noise showing a RR of 0.99 (95% CI 0.86-1.14) per 10 dB L den (Bodin et al, 2016). For IHD mortality our results are similar to the WHO-review reporting a pooled RR of 1.05 (95% CI 0.97-1.13) per 10 dB L den based on 1 case-control and 2 cohort studies.…”

“…A recent meta-analysis of three cohorts and four case-control studies calculated a Relative Risk (RR) of 1.08 (95% CI 1.01 to 1.15) per 10 dB L den for IHD following exposure to noise from road traffic 2. In the present study, the overall result was comparable to a recent Swedish cohort study on myocardial infarction and road traffic noise showing a RR of 0.99 (95% CI 0.86 to 1.14) per 10 dB L den 15. For IHD mortality, our results were similar to the WHO-review reporting a pooled RR based on one case-control and two cohort studies of 1.05 (95% CI 0.97 to 1.13) per 10 dB L den .…”

BackgroundThere is limited evidence from longitudinal studies on transportation noise from different sources and development of ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and stroke.ObjectivesThis cohort study assessed associations between exposure to noise from road traffic, railway or aircraft and incidence of IHD and stroke.MethodsIn a cohort of 20 012 individuals from Stockholm County, we estimated long-term residential exposure to road traffic, railway and aircraft noise. National Patient and Cause-of-Death Registers were used to identify IHD and stroke events. Information on risk factors was obtained from questionnaires and registers. Adjusted HR for cardiovascular outcomes related to source-specific noise exposure were computed using Cox proportional hazards regression.ResultsNo clear or consistent associations were observed between transportation noise and incidence of IHD or stroke. However, noise exposure from road traffic and aircraft was related to IHD incidence in women, with HR of 1.11 (95% CI 1.00 to 1.22) and 1.25 (95% CI 1.09 to 1.44) per 10 dB Lden, respectively. For both sexes taken together, we observed a particularly high risk of IHD in those exposed to all three transportation noise sources at≥45 dB Lden, with a HR of 1.57 (95% CI 1.06 to 2.32), and a similar tendency for stroke (HR 1.42; 95% CI 0.87 to 2.32).ConclusionNo overall associations were observed between transportation noise exposure and incidence of IHD or stroke. However, there appeared to be an increased risk of IHD in women exposed to road traffic or aircraft noise as well as in those exposed to multiple sources of transportation noise.

“…Associations between air pollution and subclinical atherosclerosis support this (Kaufman et al 2016;Künzli et al 2010;Sun et al 2005). Although the lack of observed effects for any pollutant on overall MI incidence in multiple large epidemiological studies is noteworthy (Atkinson et al 2013;Bodin et al 2016;Lipsett et al 2011;Miller et al 2007;Puett et al 2011Puett et al , 2009Puett et al , 2008Rosenlund et al 2006;Stockfelt et al 2015), recent evidence of an association between those particles capable of entering the bloodstream, PM 2:5 (Bai et al 2019a;Danesh Yazdi et al 2019;Klompmaker et al 2019;Yusuf et al 2020) and UFPs (Bai et al 2019b;Downward et al 2018), and incident MI supports this mechanistic evidence. This may imply that air pollution-promoted atherosclerosis leads to a more severe subtype of ischemic event that results in death.…”

“…A number of studies have detected significant positive associations between MI incidence and air pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide (NO 2 ) (Grazuleviciene et al 2004;Rosenlund et al 2009;Roswall et al 2017) and particulate matter (PM) with a diameter <2:5 lg=m 3 (PM 2:5 ) (Bai et al 2019a;Danesh Yazdi et al 2019;Klompmaker et al 2019;Madrigano et al 2013;Yusuf et al 2020), <10 lg=m 3 (PM 10 ) (Rosenlund et al 2009), or <0:1 lg=m 3 [ultrafine particles (UFPs)] (Bai et al 2019b;Downward et al 2018). However, in many of the aforementioned, and other, studies, associations for NO 2 (Atkinson et al 2013;Bai et al 2019aBai et al , 2019bDownward et al 2018;Lipsett et al 2011;Rosenlund et al 2006), PM 2:5 (Downward et al 2018;Lipsett et al 2011;Miller et al 2007;Puett et al 2011Puett et al , 2009, PM 10 (Atkinson et al 2013;Downward et al 2018;Klompmaker et al 2019;Lipsett et al 2011;Puett et al 2011Puett et al , 2008Rosenlund et al 2006), and nitrogen oxides (NO x ) (Bodin et al 2016;Downward et al 2018;Lipsett et al 2011;Stockfelt et al 2015) have been null or nonsignificant. Notably, those studies that examined nonfatal and fatal MI incidence separately reported stronger associations with fatal MI for NO 2 (Rosenlund et al 2009(Rosenlund et al , 2006Roswall et...…”

BACKGROUND: Air pollution exposure has been linked to coronary heart disease, although evidence on PM 2:5 and myocardial infarction (MI) incidence is mixed. OBJECTIVES: This prospective cohort study aimed to investigate associations between long-term exposure to air pollution and MI incidence, adjusting for road traffic noise. METHODS: We used data from the nationwide Danish Nurse Cohort on 22,882 female nurses (>44 years of age) who, at recruitment in 1993 or 1999, reported information on cardiovascular disease risk factors. Data on MI incidence was collected from the Danish National Patient Register until the end of 2014. Annual mean concentrations of particulate matter (PM) with a diameter <2:5 lg=m 3 (PM 2:5), PM 10 , nitrogen dioxide (NO 2), and nitrogen oxides (NO x) at the nurses' residences since 1990 (PM 10 and PM 2:5) or 1970 (NO 2 and NO x) were estimated using the Danish Eulerian Hemispheric Model/Urban Background Model/AirGIS (DEHM/UBM/AirGIS) dispersion model. We used time-varying Cox regression models to examine the association between 1-and 3-y running means of these pollutants, as well as 23-y running means of NO 2 and NO x , with both overall and fatal incident MI. Associations were explored in three progressively adjusted models: Model 1, adjusted for age and baseline year; Model 2, with further adjustment for potential confounding by lifestyle and cardiovascular disease risk factors; and Model 3, with further adjustment for road traffic noise, modeled as the annual mean of a weighted 24-h average (L den). RESULTS: Of the 22,882 women, 641 developed MI during a mean follow-up of 18.6 y, 121 (18.9%) of which were fatal. Reported hazard ratios (HRs) were based on interquartile range increases of 5.
