Our view this\u00a0a strong message to Heathrow as it develops its new flight paths that aircraft noise problems are not confined to areas close to the airport.\u00a0 The guidelines indicate that aircraft noise can affect the health of people living well over 20 miles from Heathrow.\u00a0 They are of course just guidelines, not intended to be implemented overnight, whose main purpose is to indicate the levels at which noise can become a health problem.<\/p>\n
