Wind turbines and health - NHMRC study

The National Health and Medical Research Council - Australia's peak medical and scientific research body - has published it's long awaited study into wind farms.  The study found that although wind farms may be annoying, and can be associated with sleep disturbance, there is no reliable evidence that they cause health problems.

The NHMRC has launched a Draft Information Paper : evidence on wind farms and human health, which is open for public comment and consultation until 11 April 2014.  This is backed by a comprehensive independent literature review, Systematic review of the human health effects on wind farms.

Read more about this in reports at the ABC News site and in The Conversation.
