| Resumen |
The guidelines, including exposure limit criteria, aim to assure the safe use of industrial and commercial ultrasound. The health effects are discussed under 2 main types, (1) contact exposure, and (2) airborne ultrasound, including: heating and cavitation mechanisms for non-auditory effects; auditory effects (hearing and physiological); subjective effects. Human exposure to ultrasound is also examined, including selected SPLs in dB for various occupations. Guidelines, for safe use are given, and a glossary appended. The publication is also available in a French language version. |
