Commercial Megawatt Turbines "Human Health Hazards"

Falmouth Human Health Hazard

Commercial megawatt wind turbines has provoked national and international condemnation from those who have first hand knowledge of the damaging impact of wind turbine noise, including impacted residents, researchers, and professionals providing either clinical care or acoustic services.

Human Health Hazard

“Human Health Hazard” means a substance, activity or condition that is known to have the potential to cause acute or chronic illness or death if exposure to the substance, activity or condition is not abated.

In recent months, thorough and definitive acoustic field and laboratory studies performed by Dr Neil Kelley and others in the 1980s have been “rediscovered”. The studies identified a direct
causal link between wind turbine infrasound and low frequency noise and neighbours’ health problems including sleep disturbance, collectively described as “annoyance”. The research was
presented at the American Wind Energy Association conference in California in 1987.

Government bureaucracies including departments of health, planning and noise pollution have consistently failed to protect the health of residents, and failed to investigate and act when serious health problems including exhaustion, and home abandonment were reported by residents and their health practitioners.
