Abstract
An article published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health indicated that, far from degrading health, noise from wind turbines may actually be associated with positive health outcomes. Such a finding is counter to that reported elsewhere for general and wind turbine noise. This Commentary sets out to explore alternative explanations of these differences.
Highlights
The article published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health by Mroczek et al [1] is remarkable for a number reasons, and invites further comment
The data presented here is not new, having been previously published almost in replicate [2], and so the findings detailed in this latest version of the data have already been well-considered by the noise and health community
The Supreme Audit Office report indicates that, through untoward payments to local officials, up to 80% of wind farms were erected without consideration to environmental, health, or safety matters
Summary
The article published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health by Mroczek et al [1] is remarkable for a number reasons, and invites further comment. The data presented here is not new, having been previously published almost in replicate [2], and so the findings detailed in this latest version of the data have already been well-considered by the noise and health community. Omission One: In support of their statement that “No scientific evidence has been found so far in favor of the influence of turbines (in particular, of their noise) on health”
