The Superior Health Council (HGR) is calling for extended bans on night flights at Brussels Airport after additional analysis found tens of thousands of people living in the vicinity are at increased risk of negative health effects.
In a report published on Tuesday, the HGR confirmed that almost 164,000 people living around Brussels Airport are subject to noise levels that far exceed the World Health Organisation (WHO) standards of 45 dB(A).
