Abstract :
When industrial pollution loads are considered, air and water pollution come to the fore; yet, it is also a well-known fact that noise pollution is undesired and even at catastrophic levels. Noise pollution may cause serious problems on the operation and performance of the facility even on workers’ health. Noise pollution seems to be the main reason for the serious negative effects when frequencies in formation periods and exposure times taken into consideration. In this study, noise generation which is a pollution type of industrial origin and, its formation and impact mechanisms were investigated. To this purpose, noise measurement has been performed in the weaving unit of textile mill, located in Kayseri, to determine the value in exposure noise. When the obtained results are considered, the measured values change between 73.4 and 94.4 dBA. According to the measurements, it is understood that noise levels in the weaving unit are not met the permissible levels specified in the Noise Control Regulation, Table 2. The measured equivalent noise levels are examined at the point of hearing characteristics and hearing loss of workers’ and its effects are compared. As a result, some beneficial suggestions that could reduce the negative effect of noise at the source were made.
