Why did I get cancer after they installed wind turbines outside my city?
The noise was so loud and it I could actually feel the cancer burning into me. Do wind turbines cause cancer?

You've been listening to Donald Trump. Don't you know how he lies about everything? He only went after wind turbines after Hilary Clinton was in favour.

I’m not sure they can cause cancer but prolonged stress can depress your immune system which can make the cancer cells that exist in everybody’s body but which normally don’t metastasize harder for your body’s T cells to kill off (programmed cell death or ‘apoptosis’). Having said that, a lot of people who are under quite a bit of stress don’t always end up getting cancer either. There are other factors involved. Lifestyle, nutrition, exercise, even mindset...

wind turbines are NOT directly linked to cancers.. being under the hot sun in a clear day for extended amounts of time, is linked to certain skin cancers, but a Wind Turbine is NOT one of the usual suspects that causes cancers.. in fact, there are many many regular house-hold items are known to cause cancers, such as cigarettes, processed red meat and strong EM from damaged home-appliances and poorly-shielded houses.. (EM is electromagnetism or electromagnetic radiation)
you can consult an electrician who should have an EM meter (EM detector) and be able to detect any source of strong EM inside or around your house or at place of work..
some houses (especially old houses that were built in past centuries) have poor EM shields installed.. and you should always reduce the amount of EM radiation around your bed by limiting the number of electric wires and electronics around your bed.. strong EM radiation often creates a sense of paranoia, the sense of being watched and anxiety.. it is also linked to sleep issues, poor sleep quality and being susceptible to illnesses, including cancer.. and if the EM is strong enough, it can even create hallucinations and delusions (as often mentioned in Ghost Hunters and Ghost Adventures episodes - that strong EM energy from faulty wirings and faulty devices can create hallucinations and the sense of paranoia and being watched)..
to be fair,
Wind Turbine do create EM radiation, but the EM radiation from Wind Turbines would be an issue if you live or work within less than 200 metres radius for extended amount of time - which is unlikely..
on the other hand.. other common sources of strong EM radiation are cell-phone towers, Radio-towers, TV towers, cell-phones and even the hot sun in a clear day with high UV index, and those things are more likely to be found in a city than a Wind Turbine..
an Electrician should have an EM detector and be able to answer your question with more definite answers.. and with high EM findings or readings, you can build a case against the city-council, if the EM reading is high inside your home (or at work) and if the main source of that strong EM is from a nearby wind turbine..
so.. get an electrician to answer this question..
as for the noise, you need to measure the noise (by decibels dB) first before you can build a case against the city and against the wind turbine.. most municipalities do not allow certain amounts of decibels dB within the city limit especially at night..
you can start building a noise complaint against the city if the nearby wind turbine is persistently generating more than 85 decibels (85 dB) measured inside your home at night.. (for reference a normal conversation is about 60 dB, a lawn mower noise is about 90 dB, and a loud rock concert is about 120 dB)..
an electrician may know a thing or two about how to measure the noise level in decibels..
and you have to check with your city rules and regulations about noise levels (the legal levels of decibels in residential areas) because the laws and the regulations that may vary from one city to another, and from one state to the next..
you may get a better answer asking the question under the 'Law and Ethics' section under the 'Politics and Government' section of Yahoo Answers!.. make sure you mention the city where you live in and how close you live or work around a wind turbine..
and all the best..
