An application study for the determination of ship-borne noise pollution
Noise pollution includes undesired sounds that lead to negative physiological and psychological outcomes in individuals. Areas with a unique ergonomic design when compared to other work environments, such as ships, are risky. Identification and limitation or minimization of the impact of noise pollution in ships would directly affect crew health and maximum efficiency of the operation of the systems. Thus, the exposure of the ship crew to noise pollution was measured in the current study. Furthermore, the measurements conducted on the ships were compared to the International Maritime Organization (IMO) A.468 (XII) international standards. In the study, noise measurements were conducted with 72 crew members who met certain criteria in nine ships with different properties to determine noise pollution in these ship environments and the exposure of the crew. The current study analyzed the effects of ship-borne noise pollution on the crew and certain solutions were proposed.
