title: Pollution, noise, and mental health.
abstract: Though the adverse psychological effects of noise as an environmental pollutant are well recognised, much of the relevant work has been focused on the ambiguous concept of "annoyance". The relation between noise and mental ill-health calls for more direct investigation. In particular, the pronounced individual variation in reactions to noise requires elucidation.
