Bibliographic information 1971, Vol.21, No.11, p.313-316. Illus. 4 ref.
Abstract The authors determined energy expenditure (by indirect calorimetry), sound pressure level and microclimate in various workshops. Physical effort was greatest in tanneries (up to 6.94 kcal/min in sole-leather soaking). Sound pressure levels in sole cutting and rubber milling exceeded 100dB; the level in other shops was around 90dB.
