ABSTRACT:
Objections: We assessed the rates of aging of the personnel, engaged in noise exposure activities, as well as the impact of production noise on their biological age on the basis of the study of the hygienic conditions of work and biological age of the Obolon PJSC personnel.

Materials and methods: We present a hygienic assessment of noise, microclimate, and lighting on the working places of the operators of bottling of non-alcoholic and low alcohol beverages. The measurements were performed with the help of audiometer "Larson Davis 800B", globe thermometer “Tensor 41”, catatermometer (F 564), light meter of U-116 type. The study of the biological age (BA) was carried out in the personnel of the main group (75 persons engaged in noise exposure activities) and representatives of the control group (42 persons not exposed to noise). The biological age was detected by the method developed in the Kyiv Scientific-Research Institute of Gerontology for the application in the outpatient departments and production conditions.

Results: According to the Hygienic Classification of Labour…¹ 248 of 08.04,2014, approved by the Decree of Ministry of Public Health of Ukraine, the conditions of the work of the personnel, engaged in beverage bottling, was established to be related to such classes of the conditions of the work as 3.1 (harmful conditions of the 1st degree) and 3.2 (harmful conditions of the 2nd degree) by the sound levels; and 2 (permissible), 3.1 (harmful conditions of the 1st degree), and 3.2 (harmful conditions of the 2nd degree) by the temperature of the air. As a whole, the conditions of work of the personal, engaged in beverage bottling, may be related to the danger class 3.2 (harmful conditions of the 2nd degree). The accelerated aging rate characteristics of the noise exposured personnel were revealed. The average index of the “appropriate biological age”- “biological age” in the main group is statistically reliably higher than that of the control group (9.44±1.97 and - 0.25±0.94 years correspondently).

Conclusion: The reliably aging rate acceleration (P<0,05) is observed in the personnel of the Obolon PJSC exposed to the heightened levels of permanent wide-range noise with the excess of the maximum permissible levels at medium and high frequencies (500-8000 Hz).

KEYWORDS:
