More Silence Less Noise Peter Kruse MD

If you prefer silence over noise and value silence as an important part of your life then perhaps this book is written for you. Noise from traffic, construction, machinery etc. is becoming a bigger burden every day for millions of citizens around the world. The World Health Organization has clearly identified significant health risks linked to this growing environmental noise. The levels of noise are far above the established international guidelines and directives. In the EU alone, more than 10.000 premature deaths are being linked to environmental noise. Also diseases such as hypertension, stroke, sleeping disorders and learning disabilities can potentially be caused by noise. Governments, politicians and many institutions are doing a lot to minimize environmental noise. But in spite of the good intentions and hard work, environmental noise is becoming an increasing burden to us all, day by day. Action is needed now. Peter Kruse, MD, PhD has provided an overview of the benefits of silence and the negative impact of environmental noise in a simple way. Dr. Kruse shares his experience and takes a deeper look at the science that links noise to health issues and potential death. Dr. Kruse's vision for the future is that everyone on the planet, regardless of where they live, their social status, and their educational background will be able to live together in a society where silence is prioritized over noise. Dr. Kruse is convinced that there is a need to act against environmental noise now and that it will have to happen through a coordinated effort pushed by us - the citizens - with the strong support by governments, politicians, judiciary system, and international institutions.
