Noise
Depending on its intensity, noise - ever present in human's working and living environment - is considered either strenuous or harmful. It can lead to occupational hearing impairment (a permanent, incurable disability) that accounts for one third of all occupational diseases. Moreover, since it affects the nervous and cardiovascular systems, it can make work more difficult, be a risk and stress factor and it can contribute to the development of various diseases.
