Data from 6 infant welfare centers in the vicinity of Amsterdam [The Netherlands] airport were analyzed. Birth wt of 902 infants were related to aircraft noise levels to which the mother was exposed in pregnancy. The analysis was restricted to deliveries in hospital, single births and mothers aged 20-34 yr. In high noise areas, mean birth wt was 69 g lower. Of infants in high noise areas 24% had a birth wt < 3000 g, compared with 18% in low noise areas. In the analysis, the effect of sex of the infant, birth order and to some extent socio-economic status were taken into account. An effect of smoking seemed unlikely. Results give some suggestion that aircraft noise decreased birth wt.
