Possible ecotoxicological effects of wind turbines #SWE

There is a growing concern that wind farms may contribute to an increased pollution due to leakage of particles eroding from the blades. In addition, it has been shown that the turbines also leak different kind of oils such as hydraulic and gear oils. The aim of this study was to investigate possible ecotoxicological effects of wind turbines. Particles were collected from moss, water and sediment from lakes adjacent to wind turbine areas as well as from control lakes for . . .
