Proposed Case Definition:Adverse Health Effects And Industrial Wind Turbines

People are reporting adverse health effects associated with the onset of industrial wind turbine operations. The symptoms described are consistent globally.

The complexities of adverse health effects and industrial wind turbines and the methodological problems associated with its study indicate the need for a comprehensive, systematic, and integrated study of populations and victims.

Epidemiological and clinical evaluation is required including sleep studies of victims.

The Society for Wind Vigilance proposes this case definition to assist clinicians in the assessment of patients presenting with a complex set of symptoms related to industrial wind turbine operations.

As more knowledge is gained, this case definition will be modified.
