• Healthcare Professionals Against Commercial Wind in the Appalachian Mountains  The Goal - The goal of Healthcare Professionals Against Commercial Wind in the Appalachian Mountains is to  address the health and safety issues of wind turbines identified within current Canadian, American, European and Australian literature.  We will make every attempt to present information and research that HAS NOT been funded by the wind industry.  We urge you, in your quest for knowledge about this issue,  to always check to see who funded the research or study.  We encourage you to listen and read about what the people affected are saying.Web Link >> Healthcare Professionals

• Preliminary Findings of a Controlled Study - Mars Hill, Maine  Dr. Swinbanks

  Preliminary findings of a controlled study (Mars Hill, Maine) being conducted by Dr. Michael Nissenbaum to investigate potential negative health effects concludes that adults living within 1100 meters of industrial wind turbines suffer high incidences of chronic sleep disturbances and headaches, among other somatic complaints, and high incidences of dysphoric psychiatric symptomatology, compared to a control group living 5000-6000 meters away. This controlled study is a work in progress.

  

• We would like to call your attention to the World Health Organization's 1999 Guidelines For Community Noise, Specifically, see Chapter 3 regarding the effects that noise has on human health.  Particularly disturbing is the effect that excessive nighttime noise has on children.  Also, the European Union has done considerable research in the last decade regarding appropriate nighttime noise levels and the effects of noise on human physiology, see the Night Noise Guidelines For Europe.  Citing exhaustive studies, the European Union notes significant health effects from outside nighttime noise exceeding 40 dB.   More..........
