| Abstract |
Investigation of noise conditions and workplace air in 7 plants using shotblasting methods: noise levels varied between 90 and 103dB(A); of 17 shotblasters examined 15 had an abnormal audiogram, hearing loss being proportionate to length of exposure; oil mist, dust and CO concentrations were below the corresponding TLVs; results of respiratory function tests and spirometric indices (VC, FEV1, mean mid-expiratory flow rate) did not differ from those of the control group. |
