Noise problem in a polyester fiber plant in Pakistan.
Noise study has been undertaken in the three units of a polyester fiber plant. The level and frequency characteristics of the prevailing noise have been studied and speech interference levels evaluated. The results are discussed with reference to the maximum permissible occupational noise exposure limits as allowed by the ISO and other national standards. Some recommendations have also been made to provide safety measures to the workers against high level noise in these units.
