ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to synthesize the state-of-the-art in what concerns geostatistics applied to occupational noise. For this purpose, PRISMA Statement methodologies were applied. Articles published before year 1996 were excluded. The search was carried out using four keywords indexed to databases. The procedures led to the identification of 231 articles, of which 204 were discarded and 27 included in this review. After the study of the various works, it was concluded that geostatistical analysis was used mainly for occupational and environmental noise analysis, namely road traffic noise.
