The Laboratory of physical factors of the environment I. is equipped with unique devices that provide knowledge, technical and software support in the process of evaluation and objectification of the environment factors and working conditions in mechanical engineering plants as well as assess their influence on the environment. The Laboratory deals with objectification of physical factors, mainly noise, vibrations, lighting, electromagnetic field, thermal and moisture microclimate and solid aerosols. It also incorporates a laboratory for objectification of the environment factors accredited by SNAS (Slovak National Accreditation Service), Registration number S-292.

Laboratory’s areas of expertise include:
• vibroacoustic analyses and measurement of the sources of noise and vibrations,
• visualization of the sources of noise of machinery products,
• locating and identification of sources of noise by visualization methods,
• determination of the acoustic properties of materials ,
• psychoacoustic studies of the quality of sound of machinery products,
• optimization of sounds of machinery products,
• design and research of acoustic materials,
• analysis of electromagnetic fields,
• design and research of shielding materials of electromagnetic fields,
• design and research in reduction of emissions (noise, vibrations, radiation) of machinery products,
• measurement of artificial lighting parameters,
• measurement of thermal and moisture microclimate in the working environment,
• measurement of exposure to occupational solid aerosols.
