Australia’s Public Health Association launches new website “Wind and Health”
Wind and health www.windandhealth.org 11 Nov 13 Wind farms are an expanding source of renewable energy, with about 90 countries granting commercial licenses in the past 30 years.
In Australia, there are 51 wind farms – 14 in South Australia, 13 in Western Australia, 12 in Victoria, 7 in New South Wales, 3 in Tasmania and 2 in Queensland.
They produce a significant amount of renewable energy in an environmentally friendly manner. In some communities they have been controversial, with some questioning whether or not they can have effects on human health. This has been investigated by numerous government inquiries.
Wind and health, published by the Public Health Association of Australia, gathers the best available evidence and presents it dispassionately with the aim of informing rational public debate.
