“…It is hard to assimilate the logic of this sentence, but the first part is clearly intended as an antidote to the residents' "sincerity and suffering" described earlier in the paragraph. It should be pointed out that babies, young children, and animals that are unable to "exaggerate grievances" are also seriously impacted when exposed to low frequency noise and Infrasound, eg badgers [78], pigs [79], crabs [80] and, perhaps, even plants [81]. The phrase "exaggerate grievances" is also redolent of accusing sufferers of hysteria, which is all rather cynical.…”

Environmental Noise Pollution: Has Public Health Become too Utilitarian?

Environmental noise pollution is an ever-increasing problem. The various sources: Aircraft, Road Traffic and Wind Farms are reviewed, but the latter source, because of the intrusive, impulsive and incessant nature of the sound emitted, is the major focus of this review. Wind turbines produce a range of sound but it is the Infrasound and low frequency noise which deserves special attention. Infrasound is considered to be below the range of human hearing so it is not measured in routine noise assessments in the wind farm planning process. There is, however, evidence that many can register it and a sizeable minority is sensitive, or becomes sensitised to it. The actual route of transmission still requires elucidation. The net effect of the entire range of noise produced is interference with sleep and sleep deprivation. Sleep, far from being a luxury is vitally important to health and insufficient sleep, in the long term, is associated with a spectrum of diseases, particularly Cardiovascular. The physiological benefits of sleep are reviewed, as is the range of diseases which the sleep-deprived are predisposed to. Governments, anxious to meet Green targets and often receiving most of their advice on health matters from the wind industry, must commission independent studies so that the Health and Human Rights of their rural citizens is not infringed. Public Health, in particular, must remember its roots in Utilitarianism which condoned the acceptance of some Collateral Damage provided that the greatest happiness of the greatest number was ensured. The degree of Collateral Damage caused by wind farms should be totally unacceptable to Public Health which must, like good government, fully exercise the Precautionary Principle. The types of study which should be considered are discussed. Indeed, the father of Utilitarian Philosophy, Jeremy Bentham, urged that government policy should be fully evaluated.

“…It is abundantly clear that sound levels involve a similar, continuous increase in risk, in a similar way that the amount of tobacco smoked determines [81] the risk of lung cancer. That is why cut-points for the levels of sound permitted were established in an attempt to protect receivers.…”

“…Sound spectrum irradiation also has a stimulating effect on the cells of higher plants [7][8][9]. Thus, irradiation with a frequency of 0.1-2 kHz, loudness of 100 dB increases the permeability of membranes, improves the activity of protective enzymes and cell division rate.…”

“…Thus, irradiation with a frequency of 0.1-2 kHz, loudness of 100 dB increases the permeability of membranes, improves the activity of protective enzymes and cell division rate. The biomass growth raises by 6-30 % depending on the frequency applied [7,8]. In [8,9], it is found that both sound and ultrasound irradiation increase the active transport rate in plant cells as a result of increased activity of membrane Н + -ATPase under the high content of Ca 2+ ions in the cytoplasm.…”

“…Sound waves stimulation could enhance the activity of ATPase in plant plasma membrane, the amount of soluble proteins, sugars and activity of amylase in callus. The sound waves could also increase the amounts of RNA and transcription in planet cells in which induced genes by different types of sound stress could produce more effective productions [16]. 528 Hz which known as the 'Miracle' tone, is a sound wave that it can cause significant and extraordinary changes in biological functions.…”

Objective: Alcohol consumption, because of damaging effects on various tissues including nerves system, causes a major problem in human societies. Nowadays, Usages of the non-pharmacological and non-invasive agents is common. Sound waves which are classified in non-invasive agent, beside on stimulation the auditory cells, also impact on non-auditory cells. It has been reported that the frequency of 528 HZ is related to the note MI and it shown some strange effects such as increasing the ability of DNA repair. Materials and methods:In this paper, with MTT, LDH and ROS assays, it was evaluated the effect of ethanol on astrocytes primary cell culture which exposed to this frequency. Results:The current results show that in IC50 of ethanol, the frequency of 528 Hz increased cells viability about 20% and the level of ROS production has been reduced up to 100%. Conclusion:Therefore, the use of these sound waves can be useful to reduce the toxic effects of ethanol on astrocytes cells culture.
