Maternal occupational exposure to noise: prevalence, maternal effects and infant outcomes in the National Birth Defects Prevention Study, 1997–2011
Maternal occupational noise exposure below the 85 dBA threshold recognised as hazardous may be associated with SGA among infants. Elevated point estimates (>1) were observed for the highest noise exposure category and all outcomes, though CIs were wide and statistical significance was not attained. Further research is warranted to address existing knowledge gaps.
