Abstract

Introduction: Installation of WIND TURBINES in residential areas due to their unique sound characteristics may cause NOISE ANNOYANCE. NOISE ANNOYANCE can increase the risk of health problems and SLEEP DISTURBANCE. Thus, this study was conducted to assess the effect of wind turbine NOISE ANNOYANCE on SLEEP DISTURBANCE among the Manjil wind farm workers.Material and Method: All the Manjil wind farm workers have been divided into three groups according to their NOISE EXPOSURE levels, including maintenance, security, and administrative workers. The equivalent A weighted noise levels were measured for each of the study working groups, using ISO 9612 standard method. Information related to the NOISE ANNOYANCE and SLEEP DISTURBANCE were determined by ISO15666 standard and the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, respectively. Data were analyzed using R software.Result: Findings of ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis statistical tests showed that NOISE ANNOYANCE and SLEEP DISTURBANCE were statistically different among workers with various occupational, age, and work experience groups. Also, NOISE ANNOYANCE and SLEEP DISTURBANCE had a significant association in a way that regardless of the effects of other variables, it can be stated that for every one unit increase in NOISE ANNOYANCE, 0.26 units will be added to the amount of SLEEP DISTURBANCE.Conclusion: In this study, workers with more wind turbine NOISE ANNOYANCE had more SLEEP DISTURBANCE. Therefore, in addition to the direct effects of noise on SLEEP DISTURBANCE, it can indirectly exacerbate SLEEP DISTURBANCEs.
