Preferred Abstract (Original): 
This study reports the relationship between occupational noise levels with arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), and heart pulse rate for dentists in their offices chosen randomly in Jenin City. The noise levels measured during operational periods in the chosen dental offices were found to be between 90.5 and 91.7 dB. The arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and heart pulse rate of doctors were measured before and after exposure to noise for four hours. Positive correlation (Pearson Correlation Coefficient) with noise pollution was found for all measured variables. The mean blood pressure, for examples, has Pearson's Coefficient R = 0.629 for systolic and R = 0.475 for diastolic. In addition, heart pulse rate has a Pearson's Coefficient R = 0.560. This study shows that after four hours of work, there is a significant increase in the mean measured values of blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and heart pulse rate. The mean of systolic blood pressure, for example, is increased by 4.4 mm-Hg, while the mean of diastolic blood pressure is increased by 3.8 mm-Hg. Finally, the heart pulse rate mean is increased by 3.6 beats/minute.

Preferred Abstract (Original): 
The study population consisted of 237 children aged 5-6 years in
Jenin city. The arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), heart pulse rate, oxygen saturation in blood and tympanic temperature were measured before and after exposure to light intensity levels for four hours continuously. The light intensity levels were (0 - 60), (400 - 600) and (1320 - 1500) lux. The background light was (400 - 600) lux for all selected schools, which is considered to be normal or accepted light intensity level. Strong positive correlation (Pearson Correlation Coefficient) was found to be R > 0.659 between light intensity levels and all of the arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), heart pulse rate, blood oxygen saturation and tympanic temperature in the selected school. In addition, P-value between the dependent and independent variables was found to be zero. Finally, the study concludes that there is an effect of the light intensity levels on arterial blood pressure (systolic and diastolic), heart pulse rate, oxygen saturation in blood and tympanic temperature of schools’ children.
