Summary of recent research on adverse heath effects of wind turbines
October 20, 2009
by Keith Stelling with additional files from Carmen Krogh
This document provides a useful compilation of recent research pertaining to the impact of wind turbines on human health.
In this letter to residents of Burke, NY, Dr. Nina Pierpont briefly discusses her findings of health impacts on families living in proximity to industrial-scale wind turbines.

The sound of high winds: the effect of atmospheric stability on wind turbine sound and microphone noise
May 12, 2006
by G.P. van den Berg
To conclude, it can be stated that with respect to wind turbine sound an important phenomenon has been overlooked: the change in wind after sunset. This phenomenon will be more important for modern, tall wind turbines and in view of the many wind farms that are planned. If this problem is not recognized and solved it will hamper the expansion of wind
energy.

The attached Pdf file provides a comprehensive overview of wind turbine noise related issues.
Wind power is a relatively new generator of electricity in Sweden. Legislation and
regulation regarding noise from wind turbines in Sweden have been discussed. Eja
Pedersen at Halmstad University has at the request of the Swedish Environmental
Protection Agency prepared this report as a base for further discussions on regulation and
guidelines on noise from wind turbines in Sweden. The report reviews the present
knowledge on perception and annoyance of noise from wind turbines in residential areas
as well as in recreational areas. It also summarizes regulations in some European
countries. The author Eja Pedersen is responsible for the content of the report.
