No study measures health outcomes near data-centers, so noise limits rest on dose-response borrowed from traffic
#00206
The cardiovascular and sleep evidence used to justify data-center noise limits was measured on road, rail and aircraft noise, which is intermittent and broadband. No peer-reviewed study measures outcomes in data-centre-adjacent populations, leaving the strongest claims unfounded.
#00217Run a measured cohort study of sleep and cardiovascular outcomes in populations adjacent to operating data-centers
Pair octave-band exposure monitoring at homes with sleep actigraphy, ambulatory blood pressure, and health-record endpoints, using distance and buildout timing for identification. Several US and Irish clusters have a decade of operation next to stable populations.
