Review of Current Recommendations for Airborne Ultrasound Exposure Limits

Carl Q. Howard, Colin H. Hansen, Anthony C. Zander (2005)

Proceedings of Acoustics 2005, Busselton, Western Australia, Australia, 9-11 November, p341-343

Abstract:

The standards for airborne ultrasound exposure limits were derived from research conducted by three independent groups in the late 1960s. Recently, a regulatory body in the USA has proposed increasing the generally accepted exposure limits by 30dB. This paper contains a review of the literature concerning the effects of exposure to airborne ultrasound impinging on human ears and the suggested exposure limits that are used in several countries.
