HALDIMAND-NORFOLK - The University of Waterloo is about to embark on what they are calling an extensive study to discover the health effects, if any, of wind turbines on residents living nearby... all in our own backyard.
Researchers will be in the Haldimand and Norfolk area beginning next month to start handing out surveys to residents living near and far away from wind turbines, said Philip Bigelow, an epidemiologist and associate professor for the School of Public Health and Health Systems at the University of Waterloo.
"We're going to be looking at symptoms people say they are suffering from and measuring noise emissions from the turbines," Bigelow said.
