According the National
Institute for Occupational Safety - NIOSH - noise exposure should
be controlled so that the exposure is less than the combination of exposure
level - L - and
duration - t.
The maximum time of exposure can be calculated as:
t =
28,800 / 2(L - 85)/3 (1)
where
t
= exposure duration (seconds)
L
= exposure level (dBA)
3
= exchange rate (dB)
Combinations of noise exposure levels and maximum duration
time can be expressed as in the table below.
