Occupational noise exposure and blood pressure

Journal of Hypertension, 1994
To investigate the relationship between occupational noise exposure and blood pressure.We studied 8811 workers at a metallurgical factory, who were exposed to different levels of noise at the worksite: < or = 80 dB for 8078 workers and > 80 dB for 733 workers. A clinical examination, including measurements of blood pressure (by mercury sphygmomanometer,

Occupational Noise Exposure in the Printing Industry

American Industrial Hygiene Association Journal, 1988
The noise exposures of 274 printing production workers in 34 establishments in the New York city area were monitored. Results showed that 43% were exposed to 8-hr time-weighted average (TWA) noise exposures of 85 dBA or greater and that 14% were exposed to 8-hr TWAs of 90 dBA or greater.
