“– noise pollution may be a problem if turbines are situated close to centres of population.”  - World Health Organization, Energy sustainable development and health, June 2004

Welcome to The Society for Wind Vigilance, advocates for authoritative guidelines for wind energy development to protect the health and safety of communities like yours.

The Society for Wind Vigilance is an international federation of physicians,engineers and other professionals promoting the development of authoritative wind turbine guidelines to protect the health and safety of communities. The mission of The Society for Wind Vigilance is to mitigate the risk of both physiological and psychological adverse heath effects through the advancement of independent third party research and its application to the siting of industrial wind turbines.

Globally industrial wind turbine facilities are being erected at a record pace and are increasingly being sited close to human populations. Currently there are no authoritative guidelines for the siting of industrial wind turbines. Noise and setback requirements vary widely by jurisdiction. As a result there are victims who are reporting adverse health effects from exposure to industrial turbine facilities. In many cases families have had to abandon their homes to protect health.
