Efeitos auditivos em operadores de empilhadeira

Abstract: OBJETIVO: Conhecer os efeitos, para a audição, da exposição combinada ao monóxido de carbono e ao ruído em um grupo de operadores de empilhadeira. MÉTODOS: Realizou-se audiometria convencional em grupo controle exposto apenas ao ruído (Grupo 1) e um grupo de funcionários expostos ao monóxido de carbono e ao ruído (Grupo 2). RESULTADOS: Observou-se um caso sugestivo de perda auditiva induzida por ruído para o grupo exposto somente ao ruído (Group 1), e cinco casos para o grupo exposto ao monóxido de carbono e r… Show more

“…The same happened with the maximum rate of carboxyhemoglobin some for some nonsmoking workers, who performed higher than recommended (Table 2). Similar data related to the concentration of CO were obtained in a study of forklift operators (21) . It is known that various factors are responsible for rates of carboxyhemoglobin in subjects, for example, the endogenous production of CO, cigarette smoke, exposure to dichloromethane, workload, or exposure to high concentrations of CO in the environment (22) .…”

“…The synergic interaction between noise and solvents has been described in some studies (7,8) , while others demonstrated that noise is dominant with regard to occupational hearing loss (9,10) . According to the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) (11) , three groups are considered high priority for research: solvents, asphyxiating agents and metals, and more recently the organophosphate pesticides (12) . This study highlighted the effects of combined exposure of hydrocarbons and noise.…”
