Dec. 1970, 83 pp.;abstr, in U.S. Government Research and Development Reports {Report No. AD-722 052). In an experimental dental operatory, five separate installations for integrated illuminations and airconditioning systems were sequentially erected. These installations were evaluated to determine an optimized system for illuminating a standard USAF dental operatory. This system was to provide a comfortable, airconditioned, draft-free environment and afford conditions of o p t i m u m vision. The related environmental control problems were also analyzed. 3.3.328(59526) L~fberg, H.A. Classrooffa study: Measurements and subjective assessments.

expected in a normal population. They also determined cockpit noise levels in 18 types of aircraft for various power settings and found levels up to 126 dB. Fifteen types of aircraft had cockpit speech interference levels of 76 dB or more. The authors point out that older pilots may have been exposed to higher noise levels due to the fact that early aircraft had poorer cockpit insulation.

It covers the main points with which the industrial physician may have to deal regarding the pathological effects of industrial noise, their control and compensation: characteristics of harmful noise; soundlevel measurements; audiometric examinations (frequency, techniques and information provided); characteristics of occupational deafness; value of personal protection and choice of equipment; physician's decision regarding the employment and transfer to other work of persons suffering from deafness; medico-legal situation regarding workmen's compensation in France and problems arising from the removal from noise of a worker suffering from loss of hearing.
Report on problems of noise in woodworking plants and on noisesuppression measures applied to noisy machines employed in such plants. The author considers the following aspects: disturbing and non-disturbing noise, hearing loss, machine noise, noise in offices, technical noisesuppression measure applied to machinery, use of noise-absorbing materials in machine shops, hearing protection, improved noise suppression in adjoining offices, permissable noise levels for various workplaces, anticipated results of noise-suppression methods.

F r o m the viewpoint of noise, three areas can be considered on ships; the engine-room, the navigation area and the sleeping and recreation area. Having referred to the relative positions of these areas, the authors discuss the results of noise measurements on board 66 ships, which indicate the effect of noise-insulation measures. Since the noise-control measures which can be applied to the machines ar~- ' limited, efforts have to be c o n c e n t r a t e d on reduction of noise propagation and of insulation of the navigation and living areas during the design and construction of the ship.
The authors made audiometric tests on 89 commercial airline pilots. These disclosed hearing losses which increased with age and logged flight time, and were greater than is to be
