More than 1 billion euros in health damage due to aircraft noise around Brussels Airport, environmental group says

New study work commissioned by Belgian environmental group Bond Beter Leefmilieu (Union for Better Environment) shows that the health damage caused by aircraft noise is seriously underestimated. The health costs for local residents would amount to more than 1 billion euros annually. Bond Beter Leefmilieu and the civil associations around the airport are calling on Flemish Minister Zuhal Demir to include a binding path towards low-noise and CO2-neutral operation in the new airport environmental permit. The health and quality of life of local residents must be key, the group says.
