Avaliação audiométrica de trabalhadores ocupacionalmente expostos a ruído e cádmio

Abstract: Introdução:O ruído é caracterizado como o fator mais prevalente na origem de doenças ocupacionais. Também é o agente físico nocivo à saúde mais comum nos ambientes de trabalho, causando perda auditiva. Além do ruído, agentes químicos presentes no meio ocupacional, como solventes e metais pesados, são descritos como causadores de alteração auditiva. Objetivo: Avaliar dois grupos de indivíduos expostos à mesma intensidade de ruído industrial, sendo um desses grupos exposto ao cádmio e outro não, e verificar se a… Show more

“…These factors can create or worsen occupational health disorders. Among some of the health disorders that may be triggered due to welding activity are cited burns on the skin, which can cause skin cancer [ 25 27 ], lung cancer [ 28 , 29 ], stomach cancer [ 30 ], coronary heart disease [ 31 ], noise-induced hearing loss [ 32 , 33 ], and cumulative trauma disorders [ 34 ].…”

“…The physical risk factors that welders are exposed to include noise from welding machines and nonionizing radiation from open welding arcs. Such factors may trigger disturbances related to the auditory system [ 32 , 33 ] and the integumentary system, such as skin cancer [ 25 27 ]. Skin cancer can be related to frequent skin burns suffered by welders [ 35 ].…”

“…3 It is general knowledge that in the past few centuries humankind has generated an ever noisier society, which has made sound intensity into the most diffused form of pollution in the modern world and the most frequent of harmful agents against health within the work environment. 4 According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), about 1 million industry workers in the USA have noise-induced hearing loss, particularly at 1000, 2000, and 3000 Hz. 5 North-American estimates show that 2.9 million workers are exposed to noise levels between 90 and 100 dBNA.…”
