The blades of wind turbines are polluted
The particles eroded from blades include epoxy which is 40% Bisphenol-A (BPA), a frequently banned endocrine disruptor and neurotoxin. Academic research has shown the potential for 137 pounds of epoxy microparticles to be shed per turbine per year. . While often touted as a clean energy source, wind turbines do generate pollution, albeit far less than fossil fuel alternatives. This pollution arises primarily during the manufacturing, transportation, installation, and decommissioning phases of their lifecycle, as well as through operational. . We have documented the threats of industrial wind turbines to both soil and water in their pre and post-construction phases, not to mention birds, bats, insects, and humans. In September 2023, turbine manufacturer Vestas confirmed. .
