W.A.I.T Reacts To Wind Turbine Study

An expert panel review of literature and studies into health disorders caused by wind turbines has found specific relationships between exposure to wind turbine noise and annoyance.

W.A.I.T. - We're Against Industrial Turbines - spokesman Santo Giorno says the Council of Canadian Academies says the study found that exposure to long-term chronic annoyance can lead to stress which in turn can result in cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine and psychological problems.

Giorno says the panel also found there was a lack of research into the negative health effects of wind turbines but doubts wind developers will take any notice of the study.
