The information available on this site examines the health impact on families when developers build wind turbines too close to their homes. There are several items available to download.
The papers consider the effects of wind turbine acoustics on health, e.g., sleep deprivation and related adverse effects. Evidence from research papers confirms that noise radiation delivered with specific character and dosage can trigger serious health problems. Please click on the links to download the papers:

by Dr A Harry
This paper, which examines the issue of possible adverse effects of wind turbines
on health, presents the results of a preliminary community survey.
Noise
Radiation from Wind Turbines Installed near Homes: Effects on Health
by BJ Frey, MA and PJ Hadden, BSc, FRICS
This paper not only reviews the acoustics of wind turbines and the adverse
impact of noise on health, but also includes a discussion of human rights
issues. In relation to the adverse health effects, the paper considers the
basic violation of human rights, if Government puts more importance on achieving
an ideological goal than safeguarding the basic human rights of its People.
Noise and its Effects on Health: a Brief Bibliography (with abstracts) lists some of the items used in the preparation of these papers. The bibliography, including abstracts, was compiled from the Pubmed database, the United States National Library of Medicine, National Institutes of Health (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed&cmd=search&term=).
