After the catastrophic blade failure, tons of debris fell into the ocean and dispersed for miles in the ocean. Pieces were found far afield, even in Little Compton, Rhode Island, over 20 miles away. Many more were never recovered. All of the chemicals that make up the blade will eventually find themselves in the marine ecosystem and will likely contaminate our food supply. The health risks are discussed in this analysis.

Green Oceans presents the impacts of offshore wind energy on human health. Pollution from micro plastics, bisphenol A (BPA), heavy metals, forever chemicals (PFOAs), infrasound, electromagnetic radiation (EMFs) are all potentially harmful to human health. The industrialization of the pristine ocean, concerns about seafood safety, and the failure to protect marine mammals will all impact mental health as well.
