-- Press Release from Wind-Watch.org--

Rowe, Mass., Nov. 28, 2009 --

Dr. Nina Pierpont, a pediatrician and 
population biologist in Malone, New York, has announced the publication 
of her book-length study: Wind Turbine Syndrome: A Report on a Natural Experiment. [1]
 In interviews with 10 families living 1,000-4,900 feet away from 
recently built industrial-size wind turbines, a "cluster" of symptoms
 was revealed: from sleep disturbance, which affected almost everyone, to
 headache to tinnitus, vertigo, nausea, irritability, memory and
 concentration problems, and panic episodes. Industrial wind turbines
 have a total height of 300-400 feet or more, with blades of 125-150 feet
 that sweep 1.5-2 acres of vertical airspace.

The book includes supportive reviews and notices by several noted 
physicians in related disciplines. Although primarily directed towards 
medical professionals, it includes an informative and often poetic 
version for the lay audience.
