Wind Wise Wind Turbine Noise Documentation
Greetings!
Wind Wise Massachusetts wants to call to your attention two very important, scholarly papers by published research experts that make a strong case that low frequency sound and infrasound from wind turbines negatively impact the health of those living near poorly sited wind turbines.
You can link to these two papers -- "How Does Wind Turbine Noise Affect People?" and "Wind Farms and Health" on the Wind Wise Massachusetts website:

We recommend that you consider giving copies of these papers to your town public health officials and appropriate others.
We are sending copies to key state legislators and the Massachusetts DEP since the Wind Turbine Noise Technical Advisory Group has decided against studying the impact of low frequency sound and infrasound on public health because there was "insufficient research" to show that they have an impact on health.
