Occupational aspects of infrasound and whole body vibrations

U. Landström ; National Board of Occupational Safety and Health, Occupational Health Department, Technical Unit, Umed, Sweden

Abstract

Changes in wakefulness during exposure to infrasound and whole body vibrations were analysed by means of EEG, pulse rate and blood pressure recordings. Both infrasound at 6 Hz 11.5 dB(lin), and whole body vibrations at 3 Hz 110 dB, in laboratory exposures of 15-20 minutes, were correlated to significant reductions in wakefulness.
