Appendix E

GENERAL EFFECTS OF NOISE NOT DIRECTLY USED IN IDENTIFYING LEVELS OF NOISE REQUISITE TO PROTECT PUBLIC HEALTH AND WELFARE

There are a multitude of adverse effects that can be caused by noise which may, both directly or indirectly, affect public health and welfare. However, there are only three categories of adverse relationships in which the cause/effect relationships are adequately known and can be justifiably used to identify levels of environmental noise for protection of public health and welfare. These are: (1) the effect of noise on hearing, (2) the effect of noise on the general mental state as evidenced by annoyance, and (3) the interference of noise with specific activities. These three categories of effects, discussed in detail in Appendices C and D, will serve as the main basis for identifying the levels in Section 3 of this document.

Since a causal link between community noise and extra-auditory disease has not been established, this document proceeds on the assumption that protection against noise-induced hearing loss is sufficient for protection against extra-auditory effects. However, the generation of most stress-related disorders is somewhat longer than that required for noise-induced hearing loss, and this time interval may have clouded a causal association. Noise of lesser amplitude than that traditionally identified for the protection of hearing causes regular and dependable physiological responses in humans. Similar noise-induced physiological changes in sensitive animals regularly leads to the development of stress-related disease. The implications of generalizing from these animal studies to humans is not clear. With the availability of new information concerning the role of noise as a stressor in the pathogenesis of stress-related disease, the levels identified in this document may require further review.

In the meantime, the question that is invariably asked is, "What is the significance of omitting all other physiological effects?"

In answer to this question, most experts agree that, at present, there is insufficient knowledge of the effect of noise on health except for noise-induced hearing loss, (defining health in the more restricted sense, as the absence of disease). In a recent review of this subject E-1 it was concluded that: "if noise control sufficient to protect persons from ear damage and hearing loss were instituted, then it is highly unlikely that the noises of lower level and duration resulting from this effort could directly induce non-auditory disease." Therefore, in this document, hearing loss will be considered the controlling effect.
