Gürültü kirliliği günümüzde çözüm bekleyen en önemli çevre sorunlarından biridir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada toplumun yoğun olarak kullandığı alanlardan biri olan hastane ortamındaki gürültü seviyesi ve dozunun belirlenmesi amacıyla KSÜ Tıp Fakültesi Hastanesi poliklinik koridorlarında gürültü ölçümü yapılmıştır. Toplam 10 poliklinik koridoru bulunan hastanenin tüm koridorlarında Pazartesiden Cumaya kadar 08:00-09:07, 10:00-11:01, 12:00-13:01, 14:00-15:01, 15:01 ve 16:00-17:01 saatlerinde Testo 815 gürültü ölçer ile dB(A) olarak gürültü şiddeti ölçümleri yapılmıştır. Ölçümler ortalama olarak her noktada 15 dakika süreyle yapıldı ve en az üç kez tekrarlandı. Ölçüm sonuçlarından hesaplanan eşdeğer gürültü seviyesi (Leq) 27,39 ile 50,68 dBA arasında değişmektedir. Birçok koridor için hesaplanan Leq değerlerinin çoğu, T.C. Çevre ve Orman Bakanlığının ve DSÖ'nün sınır değerinden (35 dBA) daha büyüktür. Ancak KSÜ tıp fakültesi hastanesinin koridorları için hesaplanan gürültü dozu değerlerinin (zemin kat hariç) yetkili kurum veya kuruluşlar tarafından belirlenen kabul edilebilir gürültü doz değerinden (D≤1) daha küçük olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
