| Abstract |
For assessment of exposure to heat or cold, the average temperature over 8h is used. Similarly, noise exposure is evaluated by the 8-h average energy equivalent noise level. Exposure to harmful substances is evaluated by the product of concentration and duration of exposure. Examples are used to illustrate that the actual burden on the human being is not always adequately reflected by these methods of measuring exposure. |
