Long-Term Exposure to Wind Turbine Noise and Risk for Myocardial Infarction and Stroke: A Nationwide Cohort Study

Noise from wind turbines (WTs) is reported as more annoying than traffic noise at similar levels, raising concerns as to whether WT noise (WTN) increases risk for cardiovascular disease, as observed for traffic noise.We aimed to investigate whether long-term exposure to WTN increases risk of myocardial infarction (MI) and stroke.We identified all Danish dwellings within a radius 20 times the height of the closest WT and 25% of the dwellings...
