Progress and recommendations of developing occupational exposure limits for noise-A systematic review.

Objective: Noise exposure limit is one of the critical measures to prevent noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). This review aimed to review the progress and recommendations for developing occupational exposure limits (OELs) for workplace noise.

Methods: A systematic review was used.

Developing a Framework for Industrial Noise Risk Management Based on Noise Kurtosis and Its Adjustment.

Objectives: Noise risk control or management based on noise level has been documented, but noise risk management based on a combination of noise level and noise's temporal structure is rarely reported. This study aimed to develop a framework for industrial noise risk management based on noise kurtosis (reflecting noise's temporal structure) and its adjustment for the noise level.

Design: A total of 2805 Chinese manufacturing workers were investigated using a cross-sectional survey.

Developing a guideline for measuring workplace non-Gaussian noise exposure based on kurtosis adjustment of noise level in China.

Objective: There is no unified standard for measuring workplace non-Gaussian noise (known as complex noise) exposure. This study aimed to develop a draft guideline for measuring workplace non-Gaussian complex noise exposure based on noise temporal structure adjustment.

Methods: Noise exposure level, e.
