Health Relevance of Aerodynamic Emissions from Wind Turbines
Author: | Germany, Health, Noise, Regulations
The aerodynamic emissions of wind turbines – particularly wind pressure pulses, periodic pressure waves from energy-laden air displacement, vortex formation, and tower oscillations – involve significant energetic content and, according to current interdisciplinary evidence, can impair the health of sensitive organisms, particularly humans. Current regulations, which are focused almost exclusively on acoustic metrics, fail to capture these non-acoustic but highly impactful emission types. This represents a serious and now untenable gap in environmental and public health protection, likely responsible for chronic harm to many individuals.
Die aerodynamischen Emissionen von Windenergieanlagen – insbesondere Wind-Druckpulse, periodisch auftretende Druckwellen aus energiehaltigen Luftverlagerungen, impulsartige Wirbelbildung und Turmschwingungen – sind mit erheblichem Energiegehalt verbunden und können nach aktueller interdisziplinärer Evidenzlage die Gesundheit empfindlicher Lebewesen, insbesondere von Menschen, schädigen. Die geltenden Regelwerke, die nahezu ausschließlich auf akustischen Messgrößen beruhen, erfassen diese nicht-akustischen, aber hochrelevanten Emissionsformen nicht. Dies stellt eine gravierende Lücke im Gesundheits- und Immissionsschutz dar und hat vermutlich bereits zur chronischen Belastung vieler Betroffener geführt.
