Abstract

It is known that the problems created by noise cause numerous psychological, social, and various health consequences in many environments. One of the environments where noise exposure is observed most effectively is work areas. Recently, the number of studies on the effects of occupational noise exposure on worker performance and health has increased globally. In this study, it was aimed to determine the effect of exposure to noise on the cardiovascular system. The effects of the noise in the working environment of 100 workers who work or will work in the underground mining sector were examined. Physiological signals such as blood pressure, oxygen saturation, heart rate, respiratory rate, and electrical activity of individuals were measured. The obtained data were analyzed statistically. Our study statistically suggests that noise is a cardiovascular risk factor. It can be assumed that cardiovascular changes are related to noise levels and exposure time, and these effects may also be due to individual susceptibility. In conclusion, the results obtained from this study show the existence of cardiovascular problems in workers working in underground mines and the usefulness of cardiology screening for workers working in this sector.

Özet

Gürültünün yarattığı sorunların pek çok ortamda psikolojik, sosyal ve çeşitli sağlık sorunlarına yol açtığı bilinmektedir. Gürültü maruziyetinin en etkin şekilde gözlemlendiği ortamlardan biri de çalışma alanlarıdır. Son zamanlarda mesleki gürültüye maruz kalmanın işçi performansı ve sağlığı üzerindeki etkilerine ilişkin çalışmaların sayısı tüm dünyada artmıştır. Bu çalışmada gürültüye maruz kalmanın kardiyovasküler sistem üzerindeki etkisinin belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yeraltı madenciliği sektöründe çalışan veya çalışacak 100 işçinin çalışma ortamında maruz kaldıkları gürültünün etkileri incelenmiştir. Kişilerin kan basıncı, oksijen satürasyonu, nabızları, solunum hızları ve elektriksel aktiviteleri gibi fizyolojik sinyalleri ölçülmüştür. Elde edilen veriler istatistiksel olarak incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın istatistiksel olarak gürültünün kardiyovasküler bir risk faktörü olduğunu göstermektedir. Kardiyovasküler değişikliklerin gürültü seviyeleri ve maruz kalma süresi ile ilişkili olduğu ve bu etkilerin bireysel duyarlılıktan da kaynaklanabileceği varsayılabilir. Sonuç olarak, çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar, yeraltı madenlerinde çalışan işçilerde kardiyovasküler problemlerin varlığını ve bu sektörde çalışan işçiler için kardiyoloji taramasının yararlılığını göstermektedir.
