I specialize in Noise and vibration Instrumentation used for research and enviromental noise monitoring. I would like to talk to someone about my theories including Acoustically coupled energy by the human body from Low Frequency(subsonic Sounds). Is there any Canadian Research being done in this area?

In recent months, it has come to my attention that someone has been borrowing my name and citing an article I wrote for Environmental Health Perspectives (EHP) in a pathetic attempt to legitimize their position against wind farms. My original article, titled “The sound behind heart effects” and published in the November 2007 issue of EHP, focused on the adverse effects of noise pollution. The person who has attempted to steal my professional identity is jeopardizing my credibility as a science journalist and moreover is tarnishing the reputation of EHP by stealing text from my original article. This is dishonest and insulting.

For the record, let me state the following: “M. Nathaniel Mead does not advocate any position that seeks to undercut the potential of wind farms. Indeed, M. Nathaniel Mead is completely in favor of wind power and espouses the speedy development of wind farms and other forms of renewable energy technology.”
