[Hygienic problems in the location of modern wind electric power stations in their design].

Hygienic aspects of the placement of wind power plants (WPP) in connection with the intensive development of wind power and the lack of systematic information on their effects of the environment and living conditions of the population are becoming more actual. In the article there are considered results of the sanitary-epidemiological expertise of the construction project of three modern large wind farm (the South - Ukrainian, Tiligulskaya and Pokrovskaya) with a total capacity offrom 180 to 500 MW of wind farms with 2.3 MW power generators of wind turbines.

[The location of wind-mill electric generating plants: hygienic aspects].

The hygienic aspects of the location of wind-mill electric generating plants become more pressing due to the intensive development of wind-power engineering. Possible risk factors from wind-mill electric generating plants that can influence the environment and the population are considered. A 400-m control area is recommended on the basis of the made calculations of an acoustic and electromagnetic pollution area, an exposure area during emergency situations, as well the field measuring data on noise from wind-mill electric generating plants with a capacity of 20 MW, by applying 100-kW wind-mill electric generating units.

[The biological effect of low-frequency noise (cytogenetic and immunologic studies)].

The study revealed that during 3 months noise with the frequency of 31.5 Hz and intensity of 90 dB modified the integrity of hepatocyte chromosomes, activated C-chair and oppressed B-chain immunity of white random-bred male rats aged 3-4 months.
