“…Exposure to noise in the long term can cause hearing harms which individuals might not be aware of it (19)(20)(21)(22), Fig 1 which is called sound effects pyramid shows the noise pollution consequences based on two parameters of severity and the number of people exposed to it. In recent years, noise pollution and its consequences has become an important issue in scientific researches and numerous studies have been conducted to reduce the noise pollution problems in different cities and human settlements (24)(25)(26), It is more than two decades that water, soil and air pollution have been considered in Iran but still needs much efforts in noise pollution (27)(28)(29). While the increase of different urban activities has led to reveal the sound pollution as a social problem, but the importance of noise pollution in the country is not clear.…”

Background. Numerous studies have been shown that exposure to recreational intense sounds increases the damages of the hearing system. Objectives. This research aims to measure the sound level in Darakeh mountainous region and the climbing routes. Methods. The stationary method was used to record the measurement points. The sound level on the routes was measured in the distance of one meter, in A level and as an equivalent level by a portable device and Decibel X software (Version 2019) and compared with the standard sound (OSHA-90 dBA). Sound pressure level parameters (SPL), average sound level ((LP) ̅ ), equivalent continuous sound level (Leq) and personal daily dose LAEp, d was also calculated. Results. The research findings indicate that the lowest and highest average sound level belongs to the station 9 (roadside) with 68.1 dB and station 6 (Kolbeh Koohsar restaurant) with 81.73 dB, respectively. The results show the relatively high distance of sound level in most stations (except station 2) in comparison with the international standards. The average sound level in climbing routes, the equivalent level, and the personal daily dosage were 77.3, 87.69, and 86.44 dB, respectively. Conclusion. Considering conditions of the region, the average time of athlete presence is one hour longer than the allowed time and they are exposed to high noise pollution which can be lead to physiological complications, aggression and temporary changes in the hearing threshold.

“…Javaherian et al in 2018 decided to study noise pollution in Zanjan. They investigated the noise pollution of Zanjan Province to provide the rates of Noise levels through the city during hours of different days [2]. Behavior, practice and performing tasks safely by workers and personnel Which exposure to injuries and incidents Depends on the extent of their understanding and familiarity with the inherent risks in the workplace [3] So that many of the reported incidents are attributed to acceptance or risk-taking negligent behaviors [4].…”

Behavior, practice and how to carry out safe tasks by workers and industrial personnel who exposure to injuries and incidents, Depending on their understanding of the real risks in the workplace. The empirical definition of risk is expressed by calculating the probability of an incident and the magnitude of the consequences of an incident. Employee perceptions of occupational risks have a significant impact on their safety behavior in the workplace. Therefore, research on risk perception is an issue that has attracted many researchers' attention. This descriptive-analytical study was carried out in the winter of 2017 on workers of 10 technical workshops of one of the steel companies of Khuzestan province. Risk perception of workers was assessed using risk perception questionnaire with Cronbach's alpha 0.73. One-way ANOVA, One Sample T-Test and Post Hoc test were used to analyze the data. All perceived risk scores for people were at acceptable levels. The category of individuals in the marital status had the highest score and the experience of the people was the lowest score. Among demographics specification, only education is associated with an average risk perception score. The present study shows that none of the individuals' personal characteristics have a direct and positive impact on risk perception. In order to increase the level of risk perception of workers, planning and developing continuous training programs should be used.
