Abstract
The prevalence of hypertension (according to WHO criteria) is studied in two groups of workers exposed to equivalent noise levels of around 95 dB(A) and in a control group. Differences are not statistically significant and it is concluded that occupational exposure to noise levels in that range cannot be held responsible for causing hypertension.Keywords
