More good news
In the following message from Frits van den
Berg
This message is to inform you on the results of the WINDFARMperception
project that is now concluded with the publication of the final
report. The WINDFARMperception project aimed to investigate the
perception of wind farms by residents living close to the wind farms.
The study consisted of a survey amongst residents in the Netherlands
and detailed calculations of the aural and visual exposure.
The main finding is that the noise of modern wind farms is the prime
negative effect on residents in their vicinity. A positive result is
that the same noise does not affect residents that have an economical
benefit from the wind turbines even though most of them live closer to
the turbines than residents do without these benefits. We expect that
the results of the study will be useful to gain a better understanding
of the different views on wind farms that are expressed in the public
arena.
A summary of the project, the final report and a press statement can
be downloaded from www.rug.nl/wewi. Later more information on the
project will be presented there and a computer program will be made
available for free to calculate the exposure form wind turbines.
The project is a co-operation of the Universities of Groningen (NL)
and Gothenburg (S) and the University Medical Centre Groningen (NL)
and started in January 2007. The project was financed by the European
Union in its Science and Society Program.
