s part of a preliminary study, a detailed investigation was
commissioned to evaluate the extent to which actual dai-
ly and weekly noise levels around various suburbs differ from
long term values derived from annoyance criteria. This provid-
ed the opportunity to gauge to what levels can estimate noise
levels measured over extended periods, to be used as a con-
text to a wider study. An extensive series of data was recorded
for locations in the areas surrounding an existing airport and
highway and a less-densely populated community for a period
of 4 weeks. Noise indicators such as Lden and Lnight, regard-
less of any weighing factors, describe the exposure situation.
Conclusions are drawn against these and well-known Kurze
annoyance graphs and WHO Noise Guidelines for Day, Evening
and Night.

n this study the efficacy of antiseptics on bacteria causing
hospital infections has been studied. In this study the anti-
microbial activity of Descocid, Korsolex basic, Mikrobac forte
and persidin 1% was studied against bacteria causing hospi-
tal infections such as Enterobacter aeruginosa 1221 (NCTC
10006), Staphylococcus epidermidis (PTCC: 1435 (Cip81.55)
and Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strain PAO1. Sensitivities of
bacteria were determined by Minimum inhibitory Concentra-
tion (MIC) and Minimum bactericidal Concentration (MBC)
antiseptics. In the second stage, the concentration of antisep-
tics was prepared according to the manufacturer’s suggested
protocol and the effect of antimicrobial agents were studied at
the certain concentration and contact time. All disinfectants
(Descocid, Korsolex basic, Mikrobac forte) concentration and
contact time, Accordance with the manufacturer’s brochure,
had inhibitory effect on all bacteria. That this is consistent with
the manufacturer’s brochure. Persidin one percent in concen-
tration of from 2 and 4 V/V % and exposure time 5 minutes
could not inhibit the growth of bacterial. But at concentrations
of 10 and 20% respectively 15 and 30 minutes exposure time,
all three types of bacteria can be inhibited, which is consistent
with the manufacturer’s claims. In this study, the efficacy of
antiseptics was determined with the Micro-dilution method
recommended by the NCCLS. Korsolex basic, weakest anti-
septics (the highest MIC) for the inhibition of three bacteria
was determined. But Between all four antiseptics (according
to manufacturer concentration), Only one percent Percidine
2 and 4 V/V % in consumer dilution and 5 minutes exposure
time failed to inhibit the growth of Pseudomonas aeruginosa,
Staphylococcus epidermidis and Enterobacter aeruginosa.
