Room Zürich 3: Chemical emissions from offshore wind farms: from compound identification to risk assessment
Dr. ir. David Vanavermaete -
Research Associate,
Flanders Research Institute for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food
- A literature study and leaching experiments allowed to identify more than 200
compounds that can be potentially emitted from offshore wind farms
- Organic, inorganic and particulate contaminants were measured on-field by targeted and
untargeted approaches
- Source identification is essential, as most identified compounds can originate from
multiple sources
- Lack of occurrence and detailed toxicity data hamper a full risk assessment
