Implementation of Auditory and Non-Auditory Effects of Noise in the Risk Assessment Process in Mechanical Engineering
Abstract It is generally known that long-term and repeated exposure to noise has a negative impact on the sense of hearing. However, less is known about the fact that not only auditory organs are affected by noise. Research has shown that noise has...
