Occupational Health and Industrial Wind Turbines: A Case Study
Rand, Robert W.; Ambrose, Stephen E.; Krogh, Carmen M. E.
Bulletin of Science, Technology & Society, v31 n5 p359-362 Oct 2011
Industrial wind turbines (IWTs) are being installed at a fast pace globally. Researchers, medical practitioners, and media have reported adverse health effects resulting from living in the environs of IWTs. While there have been some anecdotal reports from technicians and other workers who work in the environs of IWTs, little is known about the occupational health sector. The purpose of this case study is to raise awareness about the potential for adverse health effects occurring among workers. The authors propose that there is a need for research regarding occupational worker exposure relating to IWTs. (Contains 1 table.)
