Here's a new AF risk: wind turbines!

ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/313...

In a Danish study, there was a 30% increased risk of AF amongst those exposed to noise from wind turbines.

I have no doubt that associations will be found between many ilnesses especialy the modern ones and the invisible frequncies we as a population are constantly bombarded with. Be it 50Hz mains or the comming up to 24 Ghz 5G upon which much has been written todate.

We are after all electrical beings our nerve impulses are electrical yet people seem reticent to recognise the fact.

I do not think it will be very long after the roll out of 5G before a huge backlash takes place,, but of course it will be denighed and egnored and then a wave of propaganda will be created,, no doubt the tinfoil hats will be wheeled out and loudly laughed at!

The tactics never change much !!

I've also heard that if you stand next to them and you're over 50ft tall they can decapitate you..... ;)

In all seriousness, I can believe this in part, having had a minor reaction to bass/loud music at a certain pitch. The vibrations at a Christmas party last year made me feel unwell and like I had atrial flutter when I happened to be stood at the back of the room with the sound rebounding off a brick wall. Not pleasant. I imagine the low level hum or barely noticeable vibration could be to blame here too.

Finvola , many years ago I was the leader of the opposition against the development of a large windfarm just off our coast, for many reasons, so was interested in this topic. Are you near the one at Benevenagh?

Absolute eyesores - ruining an AONB - the horrible one is just visible behind Benevenagh but another is planned for Keady mountain. I objected to that on the same grounds.
