Wind turbine syndrome
Wind turbine syndrome or wind farm syndrome is a psychosomatic disorder primarily caused by anxiety generated by heightened awareness of turbines〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=The "science" of wind turbine syndrome )〕 - the "nocebo effect" - prompted, ironically, by proponents of the false idea that wind turbines have adverse health effects. While proponents claim that a number of effects including death, cancer and congenital abnormality have been caused by wind farms, the distribution of recorded events correlates with media coverage of wind farm syndrome itself, and not with the presence or absence of wind farms.〔() Interview with Simon Chapman, Australian Broadcasting Corporation, October 20, 2012〕 It is not recognised by any international disease classification system and does not appear in any title or abstract in the US National Library of Medicine's PubMed database. The Center for Media and Democracy's ''SourceWatch'' website has identified at least one fossil fuel industry funded astroturfing group〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Waubra Foundation )〕 as involved in promoting the idea of wind turbine syndrome. An investigation led to the foundation being stripped of its status as a health promotion charity.
==Noise effects==
There is some evidence of localised low-level adverse psychological effects due to low frequency noise from wind turbines, and this is poorly understood.〔Committee on Environmental Impacts of Wind Energy Projects, National Research Council (2007). (''Environmental Impacts of Wind-Energy Projects'', p. 158-9 ).〕 but a 2009 expert panel review concluded that wind turbines do not directly make people ill.〔W. David Colby, Robert Dobie, Geoff Leventhall, David M. Lipscomb, Robert J. McCunney, Michael T. Seilo, Bo Søndergaard. ("Wind Turbine Sound and Health Effects: An Expert Panel Review" ), Canadian Wind Energy Association (CanWEA), December 2009.〕 The study did allow that some people could experience stress or irritation caused by the swishing sounds wind turbines produce. "A small minority of those exposed report annoyance and stress associated with noise perception..." () "Annoyance is not a disease." The study group pointed out that similar irritations are produced by local and highway vehicles, as well as from industrial operations and aircraft.〔
The 2009 study panel members included: Robert Dobie, a doctor and clinical professor at the University of Texas, Geoff Leventhall, a noise vibration and acoustics expert in the United Kingdom, Bo Sondergaard, with Danish Electronics Light and Acoustics, Michael Seilo, a professor of audiology at Western Washington University, and Robert McCunney, a biological engineering scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. McCunney contested statements that infrasounds from wind turbines could create vibrations causing ill health: "It doesn't really have much credence, at least based on the literature out there".〔
In a 2009 report about "Rural Wind Farms", a Standing Committee of the Parliament of New South Wales, Australia, recommended a minimum setback of two kilometres between wind turbines and neighbouring houses (which can be waived by the affected neighbour) as a precautionary approach.〔General Purpose Standing Committee No. 5, Parliament of New South Wales (16 December 2009). ("Final Report, Rural Wind Farms" ).〕 In July 2010, Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council reported that "there is no published scientific evidence to support adverse effects of wind turbines on health".〔National Health and Medical Research Council (July 2010). (Wind Turbines and Health ) public statement.〕
