Remarks presented on wind turbines to the Board of Health
December 29, 2011 by Louise Barteau in South Coast Today (Massachusettts)
The reason the information in them should be highly valued is that they have been submitted, reviewed and accepted by an academic journal ...It further requires the authors to disclose any financial support or conflict of interest. This is important because information funded by the wind industry has an innate tendency to suppress dangerous safety information because it will lower demand for their product. If wind turbines are perceived to be dangerous, it will be harder to sell them to towns like Fairhaven.

New paper from the World Health Organization
2011
The health impacts of environmental noise are a growing concern. At least one million healthy life years are lost every year from traffic-related noise in the western part of Europe.
This publication summarizes the evidence on the relationship between environmental noise and health effects, including cardiovascular disease, cognitive impairment, sleep disturbance, tinnitus, and annoyance. For each one, the environmental burden of disease methodology, based on exposure–response relationship, exposure distribution, background prevalence of disease and disability weights of the outcome, is applied to calculate the burden of disease in terms of disability-adjusted life-years. Data are still lacking for the rest of the WHO European Region.
This publication provides policy-makers and their advisers with technical support in their quantitative risk assessment of environmental noise. International, national and local authorities can use the procedure for estimating burdens presented here to prioritize and plan environmental and public health policies.

Symposium organizer Dr. Robert McMurtry.
Leading experts pool their most recent understanding of the harm of industrial wind turbines on human health.
Piece by piece, presentation by presentation, the foundation upon which industrial wind industry and much of Ontario’s Green Energy Act sits was taken apart and dismantled this past weekend. Click here to read more.

This paper is based on proofs of evidence produced for several UK Planning
Inquiries. As such, it concentrates on the regulatory system in the UK. Other
jurisdictions will have different systems.
The aim is to inform those seeking to regulate the siting of wind turbines close to
human habitation.

Wind-turbine noise: What audiologists should know
June, 2010 by Jerry Punch, Richard James, Dan Pabst
Summary:
Noise from modern wind turbines is not known to cause hearing loss, but the low-frequency noise and vibration emitted by wind turbines may have adverse health effects on humans and may become an important community noise concern.Wind-turbine noise what audiologist should know.
