Adverse Health Effects

In a Canadian Wind Energy Association and American Wind Energy Association sponsored report it is acknowledged that wind turbine noise may cause annoyance, stress and sleep disturbance.[1]

 

One of the authors of the report W. David Colby, M.D. reinforced this position regarding wind turbines by stating

 

“We’re not denying that there are people annoyed and that maybe some of them are getting stressed out enough about being annoyed that they’re getting sick.”[2]

 

The Chief Medical Officer of Health of Ontario and Agency for Health Protection and Promotion concur in that they acknowledge wind turbines may cause annoyance, stress and sleep disturbance. [3],[4]

Meanwhile globally there are victims who are reporting adverse health effects from exposure to wind projects. Many of these families have abandoned their homes to protect their health. This cannot be denied.
