This landmark study is the most comprehensive of its kind and concluded that there is no evidence of a causal relationship between exposure to wind turbine noise and self-reported medical illnesses and health conditions.
MIT conducted a comprehensive and multidisciplinary review of literature on wind turbines and human health, and the results were published in The Journal of Environmental and Occupational Medicine. The major findings and conclusion of this peer-reviewed paper are consistent with other epidemiological studies in the area of wind and health, including there is no clear or consistent association seen between wind turbine noise and any reported disease or other indicators of harm to human health.
An independent expert panel established by the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection and Department of Public Health gave wind energy a clean bill of health based on analyzing all available scientific studies. The agencies reported, “There is no evidence for a set of health effects from exposure to wind turbines that could be characterized as a 'Wind Turbine Syndrome'…we conclude the weight of the evidence suggests no association between noise from wind turbines and measures of psychological distress or mental health problems.”
