Scientists rejected so-called ‘wind turbine syndrome’ as a cause of sleep-related disorders after an in-depth study that tested the impact of their infrasound emissions on health.
Australia’s Woolcock Institute of Medical Research, which specialises in sleep-related science, used its testing laboratory to replicate wind turbine infrasound – inaudible sound emissions at very low frequencies – that has been blamed by some for damaging effects on local residents such as dizziness and other mental and physical disorders.
