Academic Simon Chapman finds no evidence that wind turbines cause vibroacoustic disea

Bowerbird · Jun 5, 2013

A leading Australian academic says there is no credible evidence to support the theory that wind turbines cause disease.

Professor Simon Chapman is the lead author of a paper examining a condition known as vibroacoustic disease, which some people say causes adverse medical conditions for people living or working with 10 kilometres of wind turbines.

The study, published in the Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, examined 35 research papers on vibroacoustic disease, and found that all but one had a first author from the same research group.

Professor Chapman says the claim that wind turbines cause the disease is based on a single case study of a 12-year-old boy with memory and attention problems at school.

He says the condition has received virtually no scientific recognition beyond the group of Portuguese researchers who coined the term.

"The connection has been made from a conference presentation made in Europe some years ago and based on the study of just one person, a young boy whose only symptom was having difficulties at school," he said.
