Methods Through a Freedom of Information Act request, we obtained OSHA's noise measurements collected and stored in IMIS between 1979 and 2013 and analysed permissible exposure limit (PEL) and action level (AL) criteria measurements by two-digit industry code. Results The manufacturing industry ...
Employers must monitor all employees whose noise exposure is equivalent to or greater than a noise exposure received in 8 hours where the noise level is constantly 85 dB. The exposure measurement must include all continuous, intermittent, and impulsive noise within an 80 dB to 130 dB range and...

Such interactions of course not only are applied to the combination of interfering chemical substances, but also in certain cases to the co‐action of chemical and physical factors. Recently, for instance, the possibility of noise/solvents interaction was raised as a concern in occupational settings...
