Infrasound and Low Frequency Noise

Seminar presented by Dr Mariana Alves-Pereira at Massey University, New Zealand, on October 13, 2016.

Seminar presented by Dr Mariana Alves-Pereira, from the Lusófona University in Lisbon, Portugal.

Increasing technological development is putting communities at risk due to insidious low frequency noise and vibration. Vulnerable at risk groups include those working in high exposure environments, such as airline pilots and other transportation industries, and those living in close proximity to industrial scale installations.

Alves-Pereira and colleagues have been conducting epidemiologic studies over the past 20 years of airline pilots, technicians, engineers and other people who are chronically exposed to low-frequency noise and infrasound. The effects are grim: cardiovascular, respiratory, neurologic, and renal pathology and symptoms, which they call vibroacoustic disease (VAD).

*VAD is well established in the clinical literature. It has been amply documented and is readily detected by a variety of diagnostic tests.

Associate Professor Alves-Pereira will be describing Vibroacoustic disease, discussing her work in the field, the latest developments and the implications of low frequency noise and infrasound exposure.

Wind Farm Community Funding

You really need to call it Wind Farm Community Bribery




















It seems that Grouselodge wind farm are giving money back to the community, lets discuss that, firstly that money comes out of the bill payers electric bills in the form of PSO levy everyone HAS to pay it, it is automatically added onto your electric bill, this causes fuel poverty there are households who will have to decide to eat or heat this year

Wind farms receive millions in subsidies whether they are running or not and they only give a few 1000 back, who will get this money probably a community group miles away from the wind farm, they cant hear it, they cant see it, they are not affected by it, chances are they would not of heard/seen it before now

They claim that Grouselodge wind farm provides electric for 9500 homes, what they dont tell you is that that electric is backed up with reliable fossil fuel power, can you imagine if it was not, when the wind stops blowing you would have no power, would you pay your bill then, there is no way of telling how many homes get what little bit of electric is produced to boil the kettle each day when it is windy, The wind farm does not have its own power grid, when the wind stops they take power back from the grid, this is more than likely fossil fuel power, to keep the fans running on the generators at the base of the turbines, any power they produce can not be stored it has to be used straight away.

Tiny the Turbine

Tiny the Turbine is a story written by Lyndsey Ward with cartoons by Josh.

Lyndsey was asked to write a children’s book to counter the wind propaganda that has been allowed into schools.

It follows on from her tale of Subsidy Sam, a satire primarily for adults also written to counter wind industry spin.

Those who are concerned at the indoctrination of children regarding industrial wind development should ensure that a copy of Tiny the Turbine is given to their local school to show the other side of the wind ‘education’ currently received by our children.

Tiny the Turbine is available as a PDF to download and you may print for personal use or email as you wish and, if you like what we have done or wish to use it in your own campaigning,  please make a donation on this website to help fund this and possible future projects.
All contributions, large or small, are gratefully accepted and appreciated. Thank you.

You’ll probably remember the advertising campaign – the Power to Power Ourselves – which aired early in 2016 just before the election campaign: it featured audio clips of JFK addressing the Irish parliament.
