- Abstract
Background: Noise can have auditory and non-auditory effects on children. Very few noise episodes affect children's hearing instantaneously; most effects are long-term and cumulative. Describing the risks of noise on children's health and well-being in a life-course perspective can illustrate the prospects of cumulative effects., Conclusion: The policy recommendations the Policy Interpretation Network on Children's Health and Environment (PINCHE) prepared for each age group or setting are described here.
