ABSTRACT

Aim: determine the effect of occupational noise on the blood pressure and heart ratein a metalworking industry worker. Methods: Noise measurements were performed with a 3M Edge EG4-D dosimeter and the systolic, diastolic and heart rate pressure with a Bravo 24-h ABP ambulatory blood pressure monitor. These records were obtained during the working day. Results: An average exposure to noise was found to be 88 ± 8.1 dBA and the mean systolic pressure was 140.8 ± 10.3 mm Hg and diastolic pressure was 79.6 ± 6.6 during a working day, with a correlation of 0.51 between increased Diastolic pressure and noise. Conclusions: the exposure to occupational noise might be a risk factor for high systolic pressure.
