How the factoid of wind turbines causing ‘vibroacoustic disease’ came to be ‘irrefutably demonstrated’ [PDF]
Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health, 2013 In recent years, claims have proliferated in cyberspace that wind turbines cause a large variety of symptoms and diseases. One of these, "vibroacoustic disease" (VAD) is frequently mentioned. The aim of this study is to examine the quality of the evidence on how VAD came to be associated with wind turbine exposure by wind farm opponents.Searches of the

Respiratory pathology in vibroacoustic disease: 25 years of research [PDF]
Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia (English Edition), 2007 Respiratory pathology induced by low frequency noise (LFN, < 500 Hz, including infrasound) is not a novel subject given that in the 1960's, within the context of U.S. and U.S.S.R. Space Programs, other authors have already reported its existence. Within the scope of vibroacoustic disease (VAD), a whole-body pathology caused by excessive exposure to LFN,

Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, 2007 At present, infrasound (0-20 Hz) and low-frequency noise (20-500 Hz) (ILFN, 0-500 Hz) are agents of disease that go unchecked. Vibroacoustic disease (VAD) is a whole-body pathology that develops in individuals excessively exposed to ILFN. VAD has been diagnosed within several professional groups employed within the aeronautical industry, and in other ...

Respiratory squamous cell carcinomas in vibroacoustic disease
Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia (English Edition), 2006 In 1987, the autopsy of a vibroacoustic disease (VAD) patient disclosed two tumours: a renal cell carcinoma and a malignant glioma in the brain. Since 1987, malignancy in VAD patients has been under close surveillance. To date, in a universe of 945 individuals, there are 46 cases of malignancies, of which 11 are multiple. Of the 11 cases of respiratory

Abnormal respiratory drive in vibroacoustic disease
Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia (English Edition), 2006 Central nervous system disorders in workers exposed to low frequency noise (LFN, < 500 Hz, including infrasound) were first observed 25 years ago among aircraft technicians. Concurrently, respiratory pathology was identified in these workers, and later reproduced in LFN-exposed animal models. Today vibroacoustic disease (VAD) is defined as the systemic

Voice acoustic patterns of patients diagnosed with vibroacoustic disease
Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia (English Edition), 2006 Long-term low frequency noise exposure (LFN) (< or = 500 Hz, including infrasound) may lead to the development of vibroacoustic disease (VAD), a systemic pathology characterized by the abnormal growth of extra-cellular matrices. The respiratory system is a target for LFN.

Revista Portuguesa de Pneumologia, 2006 Enquadramento: As alterações do sistema nervoso central em trabalhadores expostos a ruído de baixa frequência (RBF, 60%). Conclusões:Na resposta reflexa ao acréscimo de PCO2, os quimio-receptores centrais são responsáveis por 70% do estímulo ventilatório. Um estímulo ventilatório diminuído pode traduzir certa disfunção do tronco cerebral.
