Sound exposure levels for each participant were compared to the OSHA-PEL and ACGIH-TLV. None of the participants exposure, during any task exceeded the OSHA-PEL of 90 dB(A) 8h-TWA. The adolescent in the study was exposed to noise in excess of the ACGIH-TLV during one farming event. The farmer was exposed to noise in excess of the ACGIH-TLV on 7 of 22 farming days and during various tasks. Hearing protection was not used by any of the participants. The findings confirm that if farmers were regulated as other occupations, farm workers would have to be included in a hearing protection program. 2006 English text University of Toledo Health Science Campus / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=mco1149003843 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=mco1149003843 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
