What can 35 years and over 700,000 measurements tell us about noise
This indicates that on average noise levels in the mining industry have decreased by about 0.3 and 0.2 dBA each year for PEL and AL measurements. Coal mines were predicted to be noisier than metal and non-metal mines in the PEL model but metal mines were found to be noisier than coal and non-metal mines in the AL model. Underground mines were ...
