[AUDITORY] AW: [AUDITORY] Noise Exposure [

[Fabio Kaiser <faboile14@xxxxxxxxx>]

As far as I know, 85dB(A) is defined as maximum noise exposure in the EU.

Betreff: [AUDITORY] Noise Exposure [

There are a number of sources of 'permissible noise exposure' times. I have
read differing sources.

By the AUDITORY community, is this one considered correct / acceptable;
conservative, or too loose?
