Statistical evaluation of occupational noise exposure

Applied Acoustics, 2005
Abstract Assessment of the risk involved in occupational noise exposure ( L EP,d ) is significantly affected by assumptions and uncertainties in setting true exposure conditions meaning that the calculation according to the European legislation might not be fully representative.

Self-reported occupational noise exposure and hearing protection device use among NHANES participants and the risk of hearing loss

Journal of Occupational and Environmental Hygiene
Occupational noise exposure continues to be a prevalent hazard in many industries. While the proliferation of noise dosimeters and wearable devices has made it easier to assess a worker’s exposure to noise, many employees exposed to hazardous (i.e., >85 ...

Association of occupational noise exposure, bilateral hearing loss with hypertension among Chinese workers.

Journal of Hypertension, 2020
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the relationship of occupational noise, bilateral hearing loss with blood pressure and hypertension among a Chinese population. METHODS We included 15 422 individuals from a cross-sectional survey of the key occupational diseases ...

Safe lifetime occupational exposure-1 LONE (lifetime occupational noise exposure).

The Journal of the Acoustical Society of America, 2010
For many years, it has been recognized by those working in the field of industrial noise that understanding how much noise is needed to cause hearing loss over a lifetime is difficult to communicate to most people, even those who have an understanding of logarithms.

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.

Occupational noise exposure and vestibular schwannoma: A case-control study in Sweden.

American Journal of Epidemiology, 2020
It has been suggested that the association between self-reported occupational noise exposure and vestibular schwannoma (VS) found in several studies, represents recall bias.

Occupational Noise Exposure and the Risk of Hypertension

Epidemiology, 2013
Noise may increase the risk of hypertension, but findings are inconsistent with respect to both community and occupational noise exposure. We used a large sample of noise-exposed industrial trades to analyze the association of occupational noise exposure and the risk of hypertension.The 7-year prospective cohort study included 145,190 workers from 625 ...

Relationship between occupational noise exposure and hypertension: A cross-sectional study in steel factories.

American Journal of Industrial Medicine, 2019
BACKGROUND Hazardous exposure to occupational noise may be associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and hypertension. This study was performed to assess the relationship between noise exposure and hypertension prevalence in ...

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

No-occupational exposure to noise.

Giornale italiano di medicina del lavoro ed ergonomia, 2005
The aim of the research was to evaluate the risk for the health of the disco-goers related to no-professional exposition to noise produced by speakers of discos. The noise has been measured in the middle of a disco using a class 1 phonometer. The exposition level was calculated using the formula quoted in the D.Lgs 277/91 (Italian legislative decree ...
