Testing in Norway has found bisphenol A (BPA) in discarded wind turbine blades.
BPA is an industrial chemical and recognized endocrine disruptor that can interfere with the body's hormone system.
Authorities now want independent testing of soil, vegetation, and water around wind farms.
Turbine blades spend decades exposed to rain, hail, ice, UV, and mechanical stress. They erode and crack, with old blades cut up and buried.
We now await the test results to see exactly how much BPA escapes into the environment.
