The exposure of working environment noise in the agricultural service workplaces

M. Šístková, A. Peterka

The noise belongs to the leading harmful factors which pollute the environment and negatively influences human health. An overview measurement concerning the noise characteristics has been done in agricultural service workplaces. The sound pressure level has been measured and the length of the workers exposition has been elicited in each workplace. The obtained data has proved that some agricultural service workers have been exposed to a noise above the permissible exposure limit.

Keywords: auxiliary plants of agriculture; noise load of service workers; limits of noise exposure
