A secondary analysis of data from a national survey was carried out in order to assess the number of industrial workers exposed to noise and other adverse working conditions. This permitted us to study correlations with parameters of health. More than half of the male blue collar workers in industry and building trades (sample n = 311) reported a great deal of noise. Dirty work and strenuous physical activity were also frequently mentioned. Noise exposure is often present together with exposure to stench and dirty and dangerous work. A weak correlation exists between reported noise exposure and experienced ill-being and diminished satisfaction with their own health. This observed relationship probably underestimates the true risks.
为了评估暴露于噪声和其他不良工作条件下的产业工人数量，我们对一项全国性调查的数据进行了二次分析。这使我们能够研究与健康参数的相关性。工业和建筑行业中超过一半的男性蓝领工人（样本n = 311）报告称存在大量噪声。脏活和繁重的体力活动也经常被提及。噪声暴露往往与恶臭暴露以及脏活和危险工作同时存在。报告的噪声暴露与所经历的不适以及对自身健康满意度降低之间存在微弱的相关性。这种观察到的关系可能低估了真正的风险。
