Road-traffic noise pollution and mental health: mapping high-exposure areas in Hampshire and the Isle of Wight integrated care system (ICS)
Transportation noise pollution significantly impacts mental health across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight's 1.78 million residents, with Portsmouth experiencing critical exposure levels 38% above WHO guidelines. This research reveals that noise doesn't just add to mental health problems - it amplifies the impact of social disadvantage. Our evidence-based mapping identifies clear geographic and demographic targets for intervention, enabling cost-effective, place-based strategies that address both environmental stressors and underlying social vulnerabilities.

Abstract

Transportation noise pollution significantly impacts mental health across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight's 1.78 million residents, with Portsmouth experiencing critical exposure levels 38% above WHO guidelines. This research reveals that noise doesn't just add to mental health problems - it amplifies the impact of social disadvantage. Our evidence-based mapping identifies clear geographic and demographic targets for intervention, enabling cost-effective, place-based strategies that address both environmental stressors and underlying social vulnerabilities.
