Health, our ways of life, our sanity - these all matter. Worlwide, people are reporting feeling unwell after wind turbines are erected near their homes. Dr Nina Pierpont MD Phd has written a book about this called 'Wind Turbine Syndrome' You can buy her book in the UK from Amazon via our Important Books page You can download a free guide to Wind Turbine Syndrome HERE
You can visit the website for the book HERE You can read through the many personal accounts from people who record their own story.
YET- HERE IN THE UK
If you are campaigning against wind farm development and you produce a leaflet that tells people that there may be an effect on their health, you may find as other groups have done, that your wind farm developer makes a complaint to the Advertising Standards Authority, and they have already upheld such complaints.

“– noise pollution may be a problem if turbines are situated close to centres of population.” World Health Organization, Energy sustainable development and health,
June 2004
The
Society for Wind Vigilance is an international federation of
physicians, engineers and other professionals promoting the development
of authoritative wind turbine guidelines to protect the health and
safety of communities.
The mission of The Society for Wind Vigilance is
to mitigate the risk of both physiological and psychological adverse
heath effects through the advancement of independent third party
research and its application to the siting of industrial wind turbines.
Currently
there are no authoritative guidelines for the siting of industrial wind
turbines. Globally industrial wind turbine facilities are being erected
at a record pace and are increasingly being sited close to human
populations. Noise and setback requirements vary widely by jurisdiction.
As a result there are victims who are reporting adverse health effects
from exposure to industrial turbine facilities. In many cases families
have had to abandon their homes to protect health.
The
Society for Wind Vigilance is a volunteer-based federation which leads
in education on the adverse health effects of human exposure to wind
turbines.
Our goal is to disseminate facts and references
regarding industrial wind turbines and wind developments which are
vetted by appropriate experts and external referees. The material will
appear on www.windvigilance.com.
The Society provides Internet communication on matters which include
existing and emerging science related to wind energy and related health
effects in order to contribute to:
Public education.
Education of health care professionals and others
Advancement of unbiased research and its application including third party health studies
Ongoing vigilance and surveillance
Policy decisions based on best available science and research
Establish authoritative regulations designed to protect human health
