The assessment method of human exposure to noise emitted by lawnmowers equipped with single-cylinder combustion engines

Appliances equipped with single-cylinder combustion engines generate noise which may have an adverse effect on human health. Lawnmowers are one of the most popular examples of appliances utilising a drive of this type. This paper presents the results of measurements of sound levels emitted by such m...
