Book Description
The program for the conference was organized around the following eight working groups: (1) Noise-induced hearing loss, (2) noise and communication, (3) nonauditory physiological effects induced by noise, (4) influence of noise on performance and behavior, (5) noise-disturbed sleep, (6) community response to noise, (7) noise and animals, and (8) noise and other agents (physical and chemical). Each group provided a broad review of research in their respective area followed by invited papers on recent advances. At the end of each session either the chairman or a designated individual summarized the session and proposed directions for further study. Additional papers not falling under the above categories were presented in a separate session. Topics in this group included noise measurmeent, noise reduction, and expense of controlling noise.
