Low Frequency Noise - Health Risks

Long term exposure to low frequency noise can seriously impact human health. The best and most experienced researchers on earth are sounding the alarm. In this example the summary from a case study on Wind Turbines leaves no doubt that regulations are unsuitable and they ARE NOT adequately protecting human populations from ILFN, regardless of the source.

    Summary
    "A re-evaluation of legislation regarding population exposure to ILFN has been urgently required for decades [1]. The Canadian regulations here applied are similar to other regulations worldwide, and equally unsuitable if the goal is to protect human health against chronic ILFN exposures. Symptomatic complaints currently being ignored and/or misdiagnosed will predictably lead to a burden on future healthcare costs. Although the proliferation of IWT is bringing this agent of disease [16] to center stage, the biases regarding how human health is impacted by airborne pressure waves (audible or not and whatever the source) continue to impede a proper scientific investigation [17], and consequently, proper protection of human populations and their offspring."

    2.) Alberta is known for natural gas production and has been for decades. The province of Alberta is saturated with natural gas compressors and as a result most of the province is blanketed with a low frequency pulsation.

    Regional variations in the prevalence rates of multiple sclerosis in the province of Alberta, Canada - "The prevalence rate for Alberta is among the highest reported in the world indicating that the province appears to be an excess risk area relative to other global locations."

    Is this just a co incidence or is there a connection between the low frequency noise that blankets Alberta and a high incidence of Multiple Sclerosis? Why is the Industry and the Government of Alberta not actively monitoring and objectively investigating low frequency noise?
