Workers in Minnesota may find risks of occupational disease coming from an unexpected source. In particular, one study carried out by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention noted that loud and noisy places of work are associated with high blood pressure and high correlation among workers who experience repeated exposure to these sounds. Not only are these disorders highly correlated with noisy workplaces, but in many cases, those workplaces were responsible for the development of these conditions. Both pose a significant threat of heart disease, the leading killer of Americans.
