Impact of Long-Term Exposure to Wind Turbine Noise on Redemption of Sleep Medication and Antidepressants: A Nationwide Cohort Study 
BACKGROUND: Noise from wind turbines (WTs) is associated with annoyance and, potentially, sleep disturbances. OBJECTIVES: Our objective was to investigate whether long-term WT noise (WTN) exposure is associated with the redemption of prescriptions for sleep medication and antidepressants. METHODS: For all Danish dwellings within a radius of 20-WT heights and for 25% of randomly selected dwellings within a radius of 20-to 40-WT heights, we estimated nighttime outdoor and low-frequency (LF) indoor WTN, using information on WT type and simulated hourly . . .

Long-Term Exposure to Wind Turbine Noise and Risk for Myocardial Infarction and Stroke: A Nationwide Cohort Study 
BACKGROUND: Noise from wind turbines (WTs) is reported as more annoying than traffic noise at similar levels, raising concerns as to whether WT noise (WTN) increases risk for cardiovascular disease, as observed for traffic noise. OBJECTIVES: We aimed to investigate whether long-term exposure to WTN increases risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke. METHODS: We identified all Danish dwellings within a radius 20 times the height of the closest WT and 25% of the dwellings within 20–40 times the height . . . Complete article »

Long-term exposure to wind turbine noise at night and risk for diabetes: A nationwide cohort study 
Highlights We investigated a cohort of 365,986 Danes living close to wind turbines (WT). We identified 25,148 cases of diabetes during the period 1996–2002. Long-term exposure to WT noise was not associated with increased risk of diabetes. Similar results were seen for indoor night-time noise and across a range of strata. Results do not support an association between wind turbine noise and diabetes. Abstract Noise from wind turbines (WTs) is reported as more annoying than traffic noise at similar levels, . . .

Pregnancy exposure to wind turbine noise and adverse birth outcomes: a nationwide cohort study 
Highlights We identified all Danes exposed to wind turbine noise (WTN) from 1982 to 2013. We then identified all live born singletons from mothers in this population. We investigated preterm birth, low birth weight and small for gestational age. We found no associations between WTN and the adverse birth outcomes. Few women had high levels of WTN and independent replication is called for. Abstract Noise from wind turbines (WTs) is reported as more annoying than traffic noise at similar levels, . . .

Short-term nighttime wind turbine noise and cardiovascular events: A nationwide case-crossover study from Denmark 
A B S T R A C T Aims: The number of people exposed to wind turbine noise (WTN) is increasing. WTN is reported as more annoying than traffic noise at similar levels. Long-term exposure to traffic noise has consistently been associated with cardiovascular disease, whereas effects of short-term exposure are much less investigated due to little day-to-day variation of, e.g., road traffic noise. WTN varies considerably due to changing weather conditions allowing investigation of short-term effects of WTN on . . . Complete article »
