Wind Turbines and Health: The Studies

The testimonies of those who have lived near wind turbines and experienced ill effects are universal, consistent, and heartbreaking. Everything from noise and light interference to infrasonic and vibrational effects have been widely documented. Some residents have even been forced to evacuate their homes and farms.¹ In 2021, a court in France ruled in favor of a couple suffering from WTS (Wind Turbine Syndrome).² A study four years earlier had concluded:

…the construction of wind turbines close to households exerts significant negative external effects on residential well-being…

Krekel and Zerrahn, “Does the Presence of Wind Turbines Have Negative Externalities for People in Their Surroundings? Evidence from Well-Being Data”

As early as 2009, Dr. Michael Nissenbaum of the Northern Maine Medical Center presented his findings to the Maine Medical Association. “His study, which he characterized as “alarming”, suggests that his patients are experiencing serious health problems related to shadow flicker and noise emissions from the turbines near their homes. The onset of symptoms (including sleep disturbance, headaches, dizziness, weight changes, possible increases in blood pressure, as well as increased prescription medication use), all appear to coincide with the time when the turbines were first turned on in December 2006.”³

What we have observed is that people who live near the bigger wind turbines develop more quickly and more intense health problems than people who live near smaller wind turbines… there’s no option for this person but to run… people are put into impossible situations — impossible situations.

Professor Mariana Alves-Pereira, “Infrasound and Low Frequency Noise (ILFN)”, YouTube.com

In that landmark court decision in France, evidence was presented that is in the paper “Wind turbines and adverse health effects: Applying Bradford Hill’s criteria for causation”. It was concluded that exposure to IWTs (industrial wind turbines) is associated with an increased risk of AHEs (adverse health effects).

This analysis concludes that living or working near IWTs can result in AHEs in both people and animals.

“Wind turbines and adverse health effects: Applying Bradford Hill’s criteria for causation”, (2021) Dumbrille et. al., journals.lww.com

Among the main conclusions:

• Across all continents, the same pattern of complaints [of wind turbines] could be shown in chronically exposed persons.
• Reports of negative effects on animals, which are known not to show any nocebo effect and which live close to wind turbines, resulted not only in stress reactions, but also in also negative effects on fertility, development and reproduction. Reports from the USA, Canada, Denmark, Japan, Portugal, France, Taiwan and Great Britain indicated teratogenic and mutagenic effects (see Appendix Dumbrille et al.).
• With regard to the “dose-response” criterion, analyzes showed a demonstrable deterioration in the mental performance of residents living within 1.4 km of the wind turbine(s) and those outside Radius.
• From the conclusions, important questions arise about the determination of a cumulative dose of sound, including infrasound and low-frequency sound (ILFN) for adults, the elderly and especially fetuses and small children.

In the words of Dr. Christopher Hanning: “The only mitigation for wind turbine noise is to place a sufficient distance between the turbines and places of human habitation.”⁴ What is “sufficient”? The latest research shows that adverse health effects occur to within 15km or more from industrial wind factories,⁵ and that the bigger they are, the worse the impacts.⁶

The World Health Organization (WHO) in a 2000 publication (“Community Noise” by Berglund et al) said, “It should be noted that a large proportion of low frequency components in a noise may increase considerably the adverse effects on health.” That is, what you can’t hear can be harmful. The study stated that there is…

…clear evidence that wind turbines generate low frequency sound (infrasound) and acoustic signals which can be detected at considerable distances (many kilometres) from wind farms on infrasound detectors and low-frequency microphones.

“Adverse Health Effects of Wind Turbines”, Keith Stelling, MA, MNIMH, Dip Phyt, MCPP (England), with additional files from Carmen Krogh, BScPharm; October 20, 2009; pp. 18-19

And then in 2018, the WHO updated its noise guidelines for Europe noting “stronger evidence of the cardiovascular and metabolic effects of environmental noise; inclusion of new noise sources, namely wind turbine noise…” that it includes as “one of the top environmental hazards to both physical and mental health and well-being.”⁷

Still, government regulators continue to ignore the scientific and medical warnings. In Germany, for example, regulations have set a minimum distance of 1000m from residences.⁸ But the French Court of Appeal in the case above “determined that the operation of the turbines at a distance of 700 m to 1300 m led to health problems.”⁹ This, however, does not mean that distances greater than 1300m do not cause health issues, something that still needs to be thoroughly studied, particularly because of the effects of low frequency noise on animals. If scientists as far back as 2009 were calling for a moratorium on any further wind farm construction until more studies were done, that urgency is only compounded today by recent research that only echoes long-standing warnings.

There are about 12 different health problems associated with WTS [Wind Turbine Syndrome] and these range from tachycardia, sleep disturbance, headaches, tinnitus, nausea, visual blurring, panic attacks with sensations of internal quivering to more general irritability.

Dr. Nina Pierpont, PhD, ‘Are wind farms a health risk? US scientist identifies ‘wind turbine syndrome’, The Independent, August 2, 2009; see peer-reviews of her research here

Incredibly — and recklessly — energy companies continue to place wind farms in objectively dangerous proximity to humans. The proposed projects in Lakeland, Alberta will see some turbines easily within less than 1000 meters next to residences.

I personally would not live 20km away from them… We have identified the wind turbine acoustic signature in a home 12km away from the closest wind turbine.

Professor Mariana Alves-Pereira, “Infrasound and Low Frequency Noise (ILFN)”, YouTube.com

If someone tells you there is no proof that wind turbines have a profound impact on humans and animals alike, please refer them to the following research and over 480 studies. Our gratitude to National Wind Watch for compiling them…
