Industrial wind turbines and adverse health effects 
Introduction: Some people living in the environs of industrial wind turbines (IWTs) report experiencing adverse health and socioeconomic effects. This review considers the hypothesis that annoyance from audible IWTs is the cause of these adverse health effects. Methods: We searched PubMed and Google Scholar for articles published since 2000 that included the terms “wind turbine health,” “wind turbine infrasound,” “wind turbine annoyance,” “noise annoyance” or “low frequency noise” in the title or abstract. Results: Industrial wind turbines produce sound that . . . Complete article »

Adverse health effects of industrial wind turbines 
Abstract Canadian family physicians can expect to see increasing numbers of rural patients reporting adverse effects from exposure to industrial wind turbines (IWTs). People who live or work in close proximity to IWTs have experienced symptoms that include decreased quality of life, annoyance, stress, sleep disturbance, headache, anxiety, depression, and cognitive dysfunction. Some have also felt anger, grief, or a sense of injustice. Suggested causes of symptoms include a combination of wind turbine noise, infrasound, dirty electricity, ground current, and . . .

3 papers: wind turbine noise and human health 
Papers presented at Inter-Noise 2012, August 19-22, 2012, New York, N.Y. Annoyance can represent a serious degradation of health: wind turbine noise a case study Carmen ME Krogh, Roy D Jeffery, Jeff Aramini, and Brett Horner [download PDF] Annoyance is often discounted as a health concern. Wind turbine noise is perceived to be more annoying than other equally loud sources of sound. The Ontario government commissioned a report which concludes a non-trivial percentage those exposed to wind turbine sound will . . . Complete article »

Audit: National Health and Medical Research Council Public Statement (2010) and Rapid Review (2010) 
For almost four years I have audited references related to the health effects of wind turbines and have coauthored a number of related papers. These audits have found some references contain errors of omission and/or commission. Horner et al. (2011) [Horner B, Jeffery R., Krogh C., “Literature Reviews On Wind Turbines And Health: Are They Enough?”, Bulletin of Science Technology & Society 31: 399, (2011)] discusses a number of commonly cited literature reviews and considers their completeness, accuracy and objectivity. . . .

Summary of new evidence: Adverse health effects and industrial wind turbines, August 2011 
In previous communications, evidence has been provided regarding the risk of adverse health effects and industrial wind turbines (IWTs). Up to now, the siting of IWTs in Ontario is based on predictive computer modelling. While there is ample evidence regarding adverse health effects, the conduct of human health studies to determine regulations for setbacks and noise levels that protect health is still lacking. The purpose of this document is to inform authorities and decision makers of new evidence, including articles . . . Complete article »
