UNSW: Wind turbines do produce noise and infrasound – but the link to
ill-health is far from clear and requires more investigation, writes Con
Doolan. In a radio interview this morning, Prime Minister Tony Abbott raised what he described as the “potential health impacts” of wind farms. Yesterday’s article in The Australian by
Liberal Democrat senator David Leyonjhelm highlighted some very good
points about wind turbine noise and its effect on people living near
them. People are complaining of a range of health related problems and
are attributing them to wind turbines. The question is: what is the
cause of these health problems?
