Summary:The number of working activities carried out in non-industrial indoor environments that can cause acoustic discomfort is so high that it is impossible to deal with all of them here satisfactorily. Therefore, following a briefing discussion of the known effects of noise on man, this paper will review the current legislation regarding the prevention of occupational noise effects in our country today (D.Lgs. 15 Agosto 1991, N. 277), in the light of important changes introduced by the EU directive 2003/10/CE. Finally we will discuss the problems deriving from exposure to noise on subjects working in offices, in schools, in indoor environments for leisure time activities, and in the performance of professional music.
