    Determinación del ruido en las zonas administrativas, laboratorios y talleres de la Universidad de Cuenca
    (2014) Espinoza Cabrera, Edgar Esteban; Cabrera Patiño, Christian Fernando; Espinoza Hernández, Paulina Rebeca
    This thesis project, determined noise level pollution in work areas, which is affecting employees from The University of Cuenca, the areas where the study was performed were: administrative, laboratories and facilities from inside the campus.The measurement tool which we use, was a Sound Level Meter TES 1358, respective data analysis performed, determined the conditions from different areas of study. Measurements were made using a methodology to provide preliminary results, and were determined maximum, minimum and equivalent decibels, with weighting A dB (A) and slow response. The same that have been widely used, because it is a decibel adapted to human's ear perception, where equipment is going to remove a bit, low and very high frequencies. So, after measuring, sounds will be filtered to retain only frequencies that affect ears, this is why the reason that exposure measured dB (A) seems to be a good indicator of auditory risk. With all collected data, we established some areas that they are not specified in the regulations to an appropriate job development.Based on all of this information we made some suggestions and possible solutions in areas that exceeded international standards. In administrative and lab areas, based on Order 2393 in its article 55, paragraph 6, there should not to exceed the limit of 70 dB (A), so we determined which areas do obey or not, noise regulations.
