Denmark and Germany provide evidence of a different kind: despite the presence of 30,000 wind turbines in these two countries, adverse health effects are not a significant issue in either country. . .
Wind Noise, Health, & Safety
Summary: the infrasound produced by wind turbines is too quiet to be heard, felt or to cause harm. . .
Summary: Dr. Pierpont’s book, Wind Turbine Syndrome, is a deeply flawed and vastly over-inflated work that is causing much more harm than any good it might be attempting to achieve. . .
Da die von Windkraftanlagen erzeugten Infraschallpegel in der Umgebung deutlich unterhalb der Hör- und Wahrnehmungsgrenzen liegen, können nach heutigem Stand der Wissenschaft Windkraftanlagen beim Menschen keine schädlichen Infraschallwirkungen hervorrufen. Gesundheitliche Wirkungen von Infraschall (< 20 Hertz) sind erst in solchen Fällen nachgewiesen, in denen die Hör- und Wahrnehmbar-keitsschwelle überschritten wurde. Nachgewiesene Wirkungen von Infraschall unterhalb dieser Schwel-len liegen nicht vor. . .
There is insufficient evidence that the noise from wind turbines is
directly (i.e., independent from an effect on annoyance or sleep)
causing health problems or disease.
Wind Turbine Syndrome (“WTS”) is an alleged condition proposed by pediatrician Dr Nina Pierpoint. . .
In peer reviewed studies, wind turbine annoyance has been statistically associated with wind turbine noise, but found to be more strongly related to visual impact, attitude to wind turbines and sensitivity to noise. . . In other words, it appears that it is the change in the environment that is associated with reported health effects and not a turbine-specific variable like audible noise or infrasound.
Wind turbines can be built in Ontario, despite opponents’ claims of adverse health effects. . .
Ontario’s family physicians and nurses are launching an advertising campaign to defend wind and solar power. . .
