Ultraschall Emissionen: Thermische (TI) und mechanische (MI) Indizes

Fortbildungsziele

• Kenntnis des allgemeinen Expositionskonzepts und dessen Anwendung

• Erkennen der Grenzen des Konzepts und dessen Kehrseiten

• Kenntnis der damit verbundenen Konsequenzen für die Sicherheit

• Kenntnis der Grenzwerte für TI/MI, die einen Handlungsbedarf nach sich ziehen
