Wind Farms Damage Health
Living close to wind farms can lead to a greater risk of heart disease, panic attacks and migraines, according to a study.
The farms can cause ‘wind turbine syndrome’, the symptoms of which also include tinnitus, vertigo and sleep deprivation, research to be published later this year claims.
Dr Nina Pierpoint, a leading New York paediatrician, says her five-year study of people living near wind turbines in the U.S., Britain, Italy, Ireland and Canada has led her to believe that they can also trigger nightmares in children and stop their brains developing properly.
Dr Pierpoint, a fellow of the American Academy of Paediatrics, believes turbines are dangerous because the low frequency sounds they emit interfere with the ear’s vestibular system, which controls our sense of balance.
These sounds – which are too low frequency for the human ear to hear – cause a group of symptoms she calls ‘visceral vibratory vestibular disturbance’, or VVVD.
They cause problems such as quivering, nervousness, fear, a compulsion to flee, chest tightness and tachycardia or increased heart rate.
