Dr. Neitzel quoted in Consumer Reports!!

During a discussion about the many health effects of noise exposure, Dr. Neitzel was quoted.

Here’s a paragraph from the article. Click the text to learn more.

‘Noise in your environment may also get in the way of needed rest. “The prevailing thought is if you’re living in a noisy community, noise, of course, disrupts sleep,” according to Richard Neitzel, Ph.D., associate professor of environmental health sciences at the University of Michigan. And insufficient sleep has been linked with obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, among other health issues.’
