Standard procedure specified by the manufacturer was strictly followed and the results were statistically analyzed. This study was carried out to quantify the noise level of over eighty (80) different sources using the sound level meter (GB: 2266204) at different locations in Akure, capital of Ondo State, Nigeria. The hearing loss sustained from noise injury can have disabled personnel and social consequences for the affected persons and their families. Conclusions:Īlthough this research met the proposed topic, further work needs to beĬarried out, namely the inclusion of more relevant articles and statistical analysis.īackground: Noise injury and hearing loss are significant problems in Nigerian community. Methodology was reported, being the main limitation in analysing the results. Despite beingĪble to provide some insight into each category, no detail related to experimental The data were categorisedĪnd divided into activity, equipment, job category and working area. Only 15 met all the criteria and were included in this work. Results and discussion: From the 1148 papers primarily identified, A set of exclusion criteria was determined toįilter the information of this first phase, and the results were fully appraised on a “Noise” wasĬombined with “extractive industry” (and similar terms) and “earthworks” in multidisciplinaryĭatabases and journals. Systematic reviews and meta-analyses were used to conduct the search.
Methodology: The Preferred reporting items for Short review aimed to identify the occupational exposure to noise setting within theĮxtractive sector and earthworks. Since it endangers the worker and the surrounding communities. This problem is relevant in the extractive industry Background: Occupational noise is still a significant issue having severe
