title: Impulse noise - measurement and assessment of the risk of noise induced hearing loss.
abstract: This work was an attempt to characterize the various types of noise impulses in terms of their excitation mechanisms. It also studied how impulse noise affects the Leq, on the basis of measurements made at a number of workplaces. The paper concludes with a review of the incidence of hearing damage among groups of personnel exposed to different types of noise in the building industry.
