Abstract

Introduction: Hearing loss is one of the most common causes of disability of more than 1.33 billion people worldwide and, according to WHO research, failure to timely detect hearing loss has detrimental effects on the individual, the family and the world economy ($ 750 billion), Therefore, exposure to excessive noise and exposure to organic solvents can cause hearing loss in individuals. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study was performed on a manufacturing company with a statistical population of 17 people (8 employees of printing and electroplating unit with a mean age of 40±4.78 and 9 employees of Coldwell unit with a mean age of 4.33±41). Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 16 and paired T-test. Results: According to the pollutant results in the Coldwell unit, the noise level was exceeded, but the toluene levels were measured at the permissible level, which, according to the software output, showed a faster rate of hearing loss (Right ear sig = 0.007 and left ear sig = 0.002) and also, in the printing and plating unit, the sound level was above the permissible limit, but the toluene level was exceeded, which according to the software output of these units had a lower rate of hearing loss. Conclusion: The results of this study show that simultaneous exposure to noise and organic solvents such as toluene in the workplace accelerates the Occupational Hearing Loss Process, as well as employees who are not exposed to noise, are reasonably hearing impaired due to exposure to toluene.   keywords: Noise, Audiometry, Occupational Hearing Loss, Measurement of Workplace Hazardous Factors, Organic Solvent Vapor, Toluene Vapor.
甲苯蒸气对某生产公司员工听觉系统的影响:一种致癌物质
导读:听力损失是全世界超过13.3亿人致残的最常见原因之一,根据世卫组织的研究,未能及时发现听力损失对个人、家庭和世界经济都有不利影响(7500亿美元)。因此,暴露于过度噪音和接触有机溶剂可导致个人听力损失。方法:对某制造企业进行描述性分析研究,统计人口17人,其中印刷电镀单位8人,平均年龄40±4.78岁,科德威尔单位9人,平均年龄4.33±41岁。数据分析采用SPSS软件16版,配对t检验。结果:根据污染物导致科单位,噪音水平超过,但甲苯含量测量允许水平,,根据软件输出,显示速度的听力损失(右耳团体= 0.007和左耳团体= 0.002),印刷和电镀装置,声级超过允许的限度,但甲苯水平超过了,根据这些单位的软件输出有一个低利率的听力损失。结论:本研究结果表明,工作场所同时暴露于噪声和有机溶剂(如甲苯)会加速职业性听力损失过程,而未暴露于噪声的员工则会因暴露于甲苯而出现合理的听力受损。关键词:噪声,听力测量,职业性听力损失,工作场所有害因素测量,有机溶剂蒸气,甲苯蒸气。
