A new study documents the detrimental effects linked to living in close proximity to wind turbines.

Living within 10 km of a wind turbine may be associated with serious consequences to the health and safety of people and animals.

Examples include:

• limb deformities in horses

• birth defects (born with missing eyes and tails) in cattle, chickens born with crossed beaks

• 264% higher cortisol (stress) levels in forest animals

• enhanced aggression and erratic behavior in pets and livestock (such as kicking newborn calves)

• higher rates of cancer

• stillbirths and miscarriages, fertility declines, prolapsed birthing

• contaminated, gray water wells with 14,000 times higher levels of black shale
