title: Comparison between stationary and personal noise dose measuring systems.
abstract: In most of the investigations which have been made to survey occupational noise, a stationary sound level meter has been used either alone, or in combination with a stationary dosimeter. In this investigation, which was performed in a ship-building yard, an ear-borne noise dosimeter has been used. The Leq values which were obtained have been compared with those of the pocket-borne dosimeters. In many processes, considerable differences exist between pocket-borne and ear-borne dosimeters.
