They really had to have a study to prove this. Evidently the logical assumption that a wind turbine thingo spinning around 1.5 kilometres from the nearest homes wouldn't damage your health, was questioned. There even seems to be a growing group of anti-wind farm zealouts who are blaming all sorts of generalised diseases common in the community at large anyway on wind farms.
So a study has been done. And guess what? It went to all that trouble to prove the blooding obvious. Wind farms don't cause you to be sick and they are completely safe for your health.
No shit Sherlock.
The study from The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is the most comprehensive Australia has seen into whether wind farms damage human health.
Past studies have shown that people are more likely to be annoyed by wind farms, and blame them for health problems, if they start out with a pre-existing dislike for them.
Experts in environmental health, research methodology, acoustics, psychology and sleep, as well as a consumer advocate, have found that there is no evidence of a link between turbines and pathological anxiety, depression, changes in blood pressure, heart disease, or ringing in the ears.
The report concluded that it is unlikely any adverse health affects would be felt at a distance of more than 1,500 metres.
Much like the health complaints some people attribute to wind turbines, the NMHRC found that of the 4,000 papers it identified, only 13 were of high enough scientific quality to be used when considering possible relationships between wind farms and human health. more
