Auditory and subjective effects of airborne noise from industrial ultrasonic sources.
This investigation was undertaken primarily to examine the possibility of hearing damage from industrial ultrasonic equipment. In the factory concerned, ultrasonic washers and drills were used at a number of different locations, and girls working 12 ft (3.6 m.) away from one bank of three small washers complained of unpleasant subjective effects which included fatigue, persistent headaches, nau...
متن کاملNon-auditory Effects Caused by Environmental Noise Pollution
Noise pollution is one of the prominent environmental problems affecting human health especially in developing countries. The impacts of noise on health should not be underestimated. Exposure to acoustical stimuli impairs not only the function of auditory system but also that of many other systems of human body. Previous investigations revealed that noise exposure could result in sleep disturba...
متن کاملThe effects of traffic noise on memory and auditory-verbal learning in Persian language children

Factors which have negative impact on these features can also have a negat...
متن کاملSterilizing effects of high-intensity airborne sonic and ultrasonic waves.
The lethal effects of high-intensity airborne sonic (9.9 kc/sec) and ultrasonic waves (30.4 kc/sec) on spores of Bacillus subtilis var. niger ATCC 9372 were determined. The spores, which were deposited on filter-paper strips, were exposed to sound waves for periods varying from 1 to 8 hr, at a temperature of 40 C and a relative humidity of 40%. Significant reductions in the viable counts of spo...
متن کاملAirborne measurements of ethene from industrial sources using laser photo-acoustic spectroscopy.
A laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS) instrument was developed and used for aircraft measurements of ethene from industrial sources near Houston, Texas. The instrument provided 20 s measurements with a detection limit of less than 0.7 ppbv. Data from this instrument and from the GC-FID analysis of air samples collected in flight agreed within 15% on average. Ethene fluxes from the Mt. Belvi...
