Short description (English)

Questions about health effects play a prominent role in local debates about the expansion of windfarms in the Netherlands, Switzerland and elsewhere. The Swiss Federal Office for the Environment asked RIVM to review the literature published between 2017 and mid 2020 about the effects of wind turbine sound on the health of local residents.
