OBJECTIVETo investigate noise hazard and its influence on hearing loss in workers in the automotive component manufacturing industry.

METHODSNoise level in the workplace of automotive component manufacturing enterprises was measured and hearing examination was performed for workers to analyze the features and exposure levels of noise in each process, as well as the influence on hearing loss in workers.

RESULTSIn the manufacturing processes for different products in this industry, the manufacturing processes of automobile hub and suspension and steering systems had the highest degrees of noise hazard, with over-standard rates of 79.8% and 57.1%, respectively. In the different technical processes for automotive component manufacturing, punching and casting had the highest degrees of noise hazard, with over-standard rates of 65.0% and 50%, respectively. The workers engaged in the automotive air conditioning system had the highest rate of abnormal hearing ability (up to 3.1%).

CONCLUSIONIn the automotive component manufacturing industry, noise hazard exceeds the standard seriously. Although the rate of abnormal hearing is lower than the average value of the automobile manufacturing industry in China, this rate tends to increase gradually. Enough emphasis should be placed on the noise hazard in this industry.

OBJECTIVE: To comprehend the prevalence status of elevated serum uric acid(SUA) and investigate the relationship between elevated SUA and cardiovascular risk factors and the clustering of the cardiovascular risk factors among outdoor male traffic policemen. METHODS: Selected by convenience sampling,1 039 outdoor traffic policemen in Guangzhou were asked to complete a questionnaire survey,physical and laboratory examination. According to the level of SUA > 420. 00 μmol/L or not,they were divided into elevated SUA group and control group. RESULTS: The median SUA level of outdoor male traffic policemen was 431. 00 μmol/L,and the elevated SUA prevalence was 56. 3%. The length of working years,systolic blood pressure,diastolic blood pressure,and levels of serum triglyceride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C),and serum creatinine(Scr) in the elevated SUA group were statistically higher than the control group(P < 0. 01). The high density lipoprotein cholesterol level was lower in the control group than that in the elevated SUA group(P < 0. 01). After adjusting for age and alcohol consumption,the results of multivariate logistic regression analyses showed that outdoor traffic policemen who suffer from overweight or obesity,elevated TG and elevated TC have more risk in suffering from elevated SUA(P < 0. 05). The odds ratios(ORs) and 95%confidence intervals(CIs) were 2. 347(1. 772-3. 109),2. 040(1. 517-2. 743) and 1. 431(1. 080-1. 896) respectively.The risk factors of suffering from elevated SUA increased along with the increase of outdoor working years or Scr level(P <0. 05). The ORs and 95% CIs were 1. 028(1. 004-1. 054) and 1. 048(1. 033-1. 062) respectively. The proportion of people with elevated SUA among outdoor traffic policemen increased with the increase of cardiovascular risk factors(P <0. 01). The risk of elevated SUA among outdoor male traffic policemen who have 1,2,3,4 and ≥5 cardiovascular risk factors were 1. 583,2. 351,4. 657,2. 865 and 13. 576 times higher than those without cardiovascular risk factor respectively(P < 0. 05). CONCLUSION: Among outdoor male traffic policemen,elevated SUA are closely associated with the cardiovascular risk factors. The risk factors of suffering from elevated SUA increased with clustering of cardiovascular risk factors.
