| Abstract |
The objective of the study was to evaluate annual exposure to noise among farmers on farms engaged in mixed (crop-animal) production. The study covered 16 family farms of 13-30 ha (20.4 ha on average). The farms were equipped with agricultural tractors (2.4 tractors on average), selected workshop machinery, saws for logging and machines for the production of fodder. The highest values for total monthly exposure to noise were observed in September, October, August, November and April. The high total exposure values obtained in the summer and autumn months (August-November) are associated with the harvesting of cereals and root plants, and soil cultivation. In April, the occurrence of high total exposure values was due to intensive field activities (ploughing, harrowing, and sowing). Other findings are discussed. |
