Overview

This trilingual dictionary provides comprehensive coverage of the terminology of noise and noise control thus filling a major communications gap among health and safety professionals, labour and management representatives, scientists, and engineers who must deal with this growing environmental problem. Users of this dictionary will find a large number of key concepts in diverse disciplines such as the physiology of the ear, audiometry, acoustics, sound level measurements, architecture, noise standards, urban planning, industrial safety, building and construction. It includes many useful features, namely definitions, synonyms and spelling variants, bibliographic sources, and extensive cross-referencing of keywords, as well as a separate listing of acronyms and abbreviations, and French and German indexes. The major value of this dictionary is thus twofold. As a dictionary it contains features that language specialists have come to expect: definitions and bibliographic sources. As a technical dictionary it brings order and coherence to a seemingly chaotic multitude of terms and expressions from a broad spectrum of scientific, technical and medical disciplines.
