Health Issues Raised by Aircraft Noise

  • Submitted by: Gil Paterson, Clydebank and Milngavie, Scottish National Party.
  • Date lodged: Tuesday, 15 January 2019
  • Motion reference: S5M-15408
  • Current status: Taken in the Chamber on Tuesday, 25 June 2019

That the Parliament notes the recent World Health Organization report, Environmental Noise Guidelines for the European Region, which looks at the effect of aircraft noise on people who live under flightpaths in the vicinity of airports; understands that the paper indicates that noise above 45dBA during the day and 40dBA at night damages people's health, and notes the view that consideration should be given to what it sees as this important report, including the action that could make a difference to people in the Clydebank and Milngavie area and across Scotland who live under flight paths.
