Contributors identified only by name apply principles of ergonomics to the threshold or suggested values of sound exposure in existing ordinances, guidelines, and regulations. They find that the assumptions and compromises on such dose-based guidelines make many of them unacceptable. The problems probably apply in many similar regulatory areas, they say, but they start with noise because partial loss of hearing due to noise is still the leading occupational hazard in practically all industrialized countries. There is no subject index. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
