Occupational Noise Exposure and the Risk of Stroke [PDF]

open access: yesStroke, 2013
Background and Purpose— Traffic noise <60 dB(A) has been associated with an increased risk of stroke. We investigated this relationship for 80 to 86 dB(A) occupational noise. Methods— We followed 116 568 industrial and 47 679 financial workers by linkage to Danish registries 2001

Occupational exposure to noise and hypertension in pilots [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Environmental Health Research, 2005
The role of occupational exposure to noise as a hypertension risk factor has not been established sufficiently. The aim of the study is to evaluate whether chronic exposure to different levels of noise in two groups of pilots, operating with two types of aircraft, could be a risk for hypertension, what relevance the parameters (intensity, duration and ...
