Reports about sickness from wind farms began emerging in Australia in 2009 after an American doctor Nina Pierpont came up with the name, Wind Turbine Syndrome. She spoke to people like her who were against wind farms. She ignored numerous accepted methods which provide reliability for medical studies. In Australia, studies into the effects of wind farms have found no physical effect on people living nearby. But being anxious and annoyed over wind farms can produce sickness. Medical historian
Laura Dawes looks at the evidence.

Lack of evidence of a problem does not mean "no problem". The NHMRC is calling for health studies to fill in the gaping holes in the available literature. The science is finally starting to catch up with the symptoms which residents are reporting. Two recent international studies have linked sleep disturbance and health effects of wind-farm workers to low-frequency noise and infra¬sound from wind turbines.

The Japanese and Iranian research papers mentioned can be found at the same website. The studies show direct physiological effects on turbine workers. The assumption that all problems being reported by residents are "all in the mind" are disingenuous. It's time the proper health investigations, that is in the field, need to be done sooner rather than later.
