Key Points

Acoustic emissions from mining engineering machinery significantly exceeded permissible exposure limits, with ball mill and extractor units reaching up to 92.68 dB.
Personal noise dose monitoring across active laboratory personnel documented mean exposures of 87.21 dB, whereas adjacent administrative areas registered 29.29 dB.
Highlights severe occupational risks where 100% of teachers and 25% of all surveyed participants reported physical discomfort, calling for hearing protection protocols.

Implication

Observational exposure monitoring reveals hazardous noise levels exceeding regulatory limits in engineering laboratory personnel, highlighting substantial occupational hearing risks.
