Commenting on the findings of the study, Kenneth Matthews, CEO of the Irish Wind Energy Association (IWEA) said, “This is the latest in a number of comprehensive studies carried out internationally in recent years which clearly conclude that wind turbines are not harmful to people.  Today’s findings should help to alleviate any concerns that the general public, or those living in the vicinity of wind turbines might have in relation to the health impact of Ireland’s most abundant renewable energy source.”

The study, which was published in the Journal of Occupational and Environmental Medicine, included an extensive examination of peer reviewed literature categorised by sound measurements, epidemiology research, psychological analysis, and Governmental reports.
