Abstract

Airports are major emitters of noise pollution, affecting both workers and nearby communities. Given their crucial role in the global economy, a literature review was conducted to analyze the effects of noise on the health of employees, particularly runway technicians. The aim was to identify the physiological and psychosocial impacts of prolonged noise exposure. The review encompassed 30 studies, including institutional reports and academic papers, using search engines like EBSCO and Scielo, and selecting research published in the last 20 years. Theses and studies older than two decades were excluded. The main risk identified was hearing loss due to exposure to noise levels above 85dB, though other health issues such as stress, anxiety, concentration problems, and cardiovascular risks related to prolonged noise exposure were also recognized. It is concluded that preventive health programs, both acoustic and psychological or cardiovascular, should be implemented for workers. Additionally, noise mitigation strategies in urban areas near airports are recommended.
