Length of occupational noise exposure and blood pressure

International Archives of Occupational and Environmental Health, 1992
A cross-sectional study was performed in the Paris area, with a total of 7901 subjects; 432 of them were exposed to occupational noise greater than or equal to 85 dBA. Noise was measured by the worksite physicians, and length of exposure was collected through interview. The subjects exposed to noise were mainly workers, their body mass index was higher

[Non-occupational exposure to noise].

Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia, 2004
The authors report the data related to the measures effected in some environments where leisure time activities are developed. In the light of the elevated values, the authors have effected the calculation of the Lep,d as laid down by D.Lgs 277/91 to verify the existence of conditions of risk that result verified.

Occupational noise exposure on construction sites

Applied Acoustics, 1985
Abstract An exploratory study of the noise exposure of operators of plant and equipment on construction sites is described. Noise at the ears of operators has been measured in terms of maximum sound pressure levels and short-term values of the equivalent continuous A-weighted sound pressure level. It is shown that some operators are exposed to levels

Occupational Noise Exposure of Operators of Heavy Trucks

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1998
Over 400 measurements were taken across Canada to assess the noise exposure of truck operators. The exposure of the driver was evaluated using both 3-dB (Leq) and 5-dB (L5dB) exchange rates. Driving with windows closed and radio not operating resulted in the lowest exposure.

Occupational noise exposure in Portugal

2002
Given its relevance, noise is one of the main occupational risks in industrial environments. However, a structured survey about Portuguese occupational noise exposure was never made. This paper focuses on the main aspects concerning noise occupational exposure, presenting yet an estimation of the number of people exposed to occupational noise in ...

Headphone noise: occupational noise exposure assessment for communication personnel [PDF]

, 2003
For communication personnel exposed to noise emitted by headphones, the sound pressure level measured at the position of the exposed person (but the person absent) does not adequately represent the sound exposure. The first section of this paper reports comments concerning the legislation, the relevant international standards and the state-of-the-art ...

Hearing conservation and occupational exposure to noise.

American family physician, 1983
A hearing impairment can have profound psychologic consequences. A major cause of hearing loss is exposure to excessive noise in the workplace. Stricter regulations to protect the hearing of workers became effective this year. A constructive role for the family physician is to educate the patient about the importance of hearing conservation, to ...
