"The book provides on overview of the evaluation, prevention and control of exposure to noise at the workplace. Besides chapters on fundamentals of acoustics, physiology and pathophysiology of the ear and hearing, exposure criteria, strategy for noise surveys and details on the instruments, their use and calibration, audiometry and hearing protection, other chapters emphasise the noise reduction at source as the first choice for preventing hearing loss. Sources of information and a list of relevant case studies are given in the last chapter, emphasising the importance of standards for noise control at the design stage.
This book presents among other things the relations of the different fields to the newest state of international standards.
The FIOSH publised it on behalf of the World Health Organizations."
