Industrial Noise and Its Effects on Humans

The problem of noise in the industries around Sivas has been examined in this study; and noise measurement and survey studies have been carried out at concrete traverse, cement, iron and steel and textile factories located in this region. A questionnaire was completed by 256 workers during this study in order to determine the physical, physiological, and psycho-social impacts of the noise on hu...

Industrial Noise and Tooth Wear - Experimental Study

UNLABELLED Tooth wear is a complex multifactorial process that involves the loss of hard dental tissue. Parafunctional habits have been mentioned as a self-destructive process caused by stress, which results in hyperactivity of masticatory muscles. Stress manifests itself through teeth grinding, leading to progressive teeth wear. The effects of continuous exposure to industrial noise, a "stress...

Practical Ranges of Loudness Levels of Various Types of Environmental Noise, Including Traffic Noise, Aircraft Noise, and Industrial Noise

In environmental noise control one commonly employs the A-weighted sound level as an approximate measure of the effect of noise on people. A measure that is more closely related to direct human perception of noise is the loudness level. At constant A-weighted sound level, the loudness level of a noise signal varies considerably with the shape of the frequency spectrum of the noise signal. In pa...

Association between moderate noise level and depression, anxiety, and stress in non-industrial employees

Introduction: Previous studies have been conducted on the effects of exposure of industrial workers to high levels of noise and their association with mental health or exposure of people to harmful levels of environmental noise. In this study, we investigated the association between moderate noise levels and the symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress in non-industrial workers. Material an...
