ANTI WIND GROUPS DECRY CANADIAN COUNCIL OF ACADEMIES’ BOOKEND PIECE TO HEALTH CANADA STUDY ON WIND POWER
by Sherri Lange
“It is finally clear that noise is a significant hazard to public health. Truly, noise is more than just an annoyance.” (From Dr. Arline Bronzaft’s 1978 pamphlet: “Noise: A Health Problem.”)
Ontario anti-wind groups expressed a collective sigh of disappointment with the study results provided by the Canadian Council of Academies’ study results on wind power and health. “In response to public concern, the Government of Canada, through the Minister of Health, asked the Council to determine if there is evidence to support a causal association between exposure to wind turbine noise and health effects.”
