Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the knowledge and attitude of engineering and technical sciences students regarding health and safety of food.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 100 students of engineering and technical sciences in Babol. To collect data, a questionnaire including three sections of demographic information, knowledge and attitude regarding health and food safety was used. Data analysis was performed using chi-square statistical test.
Results: In general, the results indicated that 27% of students had good knowledge, and 26% had a good attitude towards food safety and health.
Conclusion: According to the results, the attitude of most students was weak and moderate. Therefore, it is suggested that workshops or food health curriculum to be held for engineering and technical sciences students.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Increasing the concentration of carbon dioxide (CO2) leads to reduced comfort and learning disruption. Therefore, the present study was conducted to determine the concentration of CO2 in classrooms of Babol and Gonabad cities and its relationship with classroom ventilation and temperature.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was randomly carried out in spring of 2018 in 6 high schools and 28 classrooms of Babol in the north of Iran and 28 educational classes in Gonabad University of Medical Sciences in the east of Iran. A CO2 meter was used to measure CO2. In order to determine the physical parameters affecting CO2 concentration, information of a checklist was used. Data were analyzed by statistical tests such as Chi-square, ANOVA and t-test.
Results: In the present study, there was a significant correlation between CO2 and ventilation type (p = 0.021) and heating system in Babol schools (p = 0.025). There was a significant relationship between CO2 concentration in school and university classes (p=0.001) in Babol and Gonabad.
Conclusion: The present study showed that CO2 concentration was high in most classes and it was related to the type of ventilation and heating and cooling systems.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: Exposure to high levels of noise can lead to physical and psychological problems. The purpose of this study was to determine the sound level of welding centers in Babol.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was randomly performed in 20 welding workshops in 2018. The sound level was measured by sound level meter. The researcher-made form was completed by the welders to determine the health consequences of the sound.
Results: Mean and standard deviation of sound level at the side of the machine was122.75±7.65 dB and at one meter away from the device was 87.45±12.76 dB. 42 (84%) and 8 (16%) patients reported that sound persistence was in half shift and less than half shift. 22 (44%) had hearing loss in the last two years.
Conclusion: The results showed that the level of noise was higher than the standard in all measurements next to the device and one meter away from it in all welding centers.

Abstract
Background and Objectives: The emerging coronavirus, which there was no information on the way of its disease-causing at the beginning of the outbreak, caused anxiety among health care workers who were at the forefront of the fight against coronavirus. This study aimed to evaluate anxiety during coronavirus pandemic among healthcare workers in Babol.
Materials and Methods: The present descriptive study was conducted in 2020 among 260 healthcare workers of Babol health centers selected by stratified random method. Data were collected using a questionnaire to measure individual and occupational characteristics and to determine the Corona Disease Anxiety Scale. Descriptive statistics and chi-square test were used to analyze the data.
Results: The mean and standard deviation scores of the total anxiety scale, psychological symptoms of anxiety, and physical symptoms of anxiety among healthcare workers in Babol were 12.13±8.02, 9.86±5.35, and 3.69±2.27, respectively. No or mild anxiety was observed among 195 people (75%) of healthcare workers, and 65 people (25%) had moderate to high anxiety. A chi-square test showed that there was a statistically significant relationship between sex and psychological symptoms of anxiety (p=0.016), sex and total anxiety (p=0.010) and the rate of anxiety was higher in women.
Conclusion: The results showed that the level of anxiety in the healthcare workers of Babol who were at risk of exposure to coronavirus was low that indicates the optimal mental and physical condition of individuals in the face of critical situations.
