This analysis uses data from the Community Noise and Health Study developed by Statistics Canada to investigate the association between residential proximity to wind turbines and health-related outcomes in a dataset that also provides objective measures of wind turbine noise. The findings indicate that residential proximity to wind turbines is correlated with annoyance and health-related quality of life measures. These associations differ in some respects from associations with noise measurements. Results can be used to support discussions between communities and wind-turbine developers regarding potential health effects of wind turbines.
本分析使用了加拿大统计局开发的社区噪声与健康研究的数据，旨在调查居住在风力涡轮机附近与健康相关结果之间的关系，该数据集还提供了风力涡轮机噪声的客观测量。研究结果表明，居住在风力涡轮机附近与烦恼和与健康相关的生活质量测量有关。这些关联在某些方面与噪声测量的关联不同。研究结果可用于支持社区和风力涡轮机开发商之间关于风力涡轮机潜在健康影响的讨论。
