Abstract
The results of the available epidemiological studies on medical effects of aircraft noise are combined and discussed. It appears that the results support each other. The conclusion is drawn that aircraft noise, as prevalent around many airports, constitutes a very serious threat to public health in all its aspects: affection of well-being, mental disorders, somatic symptoms and diseases (especially cardiovascular diseases). A recommendation is given for the protection of the population in the vicinity of airports: the aircraft noise should not exceed NNI = 20.
