Occupational noise exposure and acute effects on pulse rate and blood pressure
(2022) 24th International Congress on Acoustics, ICA 2022- Abstract
Environmental exposure to noise and particle matter (PM) are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although there are often higher levels in occupational settings, little is known about noise and particle exposures at work and CVD risks. We investigated occupational noise and particle exposures and acute effects on pulse rate and blood pressure. 46 active, non-smoking, male construction workers were included in the study. Continuously logged personal exposure measurements of noise (LAmax, LCpeak) and dust of PM 0.1-10, continuously logged pulse rate and blood pressure measurements were performed for one working day on each participant. Significant associations were seen between these three exposures and acute changes in pulse... (More)
Environmental exposure to noise and particle matter (PM) are risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD). Although there are often higher levels in occupational settings, little is known about noise and particle exposures at work and CVD risks. We investigated occupational noise and particle exposures and acute effects on pulse rate and blood pressure. 46 active, non-smoking, male construction workers were included in the study. Continuously logged personal exposure measurements of noise (LAmax, LCpeak) and dust of PM 0.1-10, continuously logged pulse rate and blood pressure measurements were performed for one working day on each participant. Significant associations were seen between these three exposures and acute changes in pulse rate. The effects were seen below the Swedish occupational exposure limits for LAmax and LCpeak, indicating that these limits may not protect from adverse cardiovascular effects. Also, an additive effect on pulse rate was seen if simultaneously exposed to noise and dust. No association were found between these exposures and blood pressure.
