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.
