Occupational Exposure to Noise and Ototoxic Organic Solvents

Archives of Environmental Health: An International Journal, 1994
The objectives of this study were to review the literature on the effects of occupational exposure to organic solvents on the auditory system and to identify work settings in which exposure to these agents and to noise might occur. The criteria for selecting the chemicals were (a) evidence available that indicated that the chemicals may affect the ...

[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.

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

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 ...

Total Non-Occupational Noise Exposure of Construction Workers

Noise & Vibration Worldwide, 2005
Total non-occupational noise exposure levels were estimated for a group of 266 construction apprentices participating in a longitudinal study of noise and hearing loss. Subjects were interviewed regarding their exposure to “episodic” activities (e.g., concert attendance), and noise levels for these activities were obtained from a literature review ...
