摘要: ABSTRACT A pilot project was conducted to evaluate occupational noise exposures of three families living and working on farms in Northwest Ohio. Noise were measured continuously for 7 consecutive days each participant 1 week during planting, growing, harvesting seasons. The dosimeters programmed using both the Occupational Safety Health Administration (OSHA) action level National Institute (NIOSH)/American Conference Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) guidelines. One family evaluated per year a total nine members (six adults children) participated. Adult on-farm activities (occupational exposures) ranged from 46.1 89.6 decibels A-weighted scale (dBA) as an 8-hour time-weighted average (8HR TWA) OSHA 62.6 92.1 dBA 8HR TWA NIOSH/ACGIH childre...
