"GREEN ENERGY, YELLOW POISON"
They woke in the morning and discovered a yellow outline from their bodies on their sheets, they coughed and they had headaches. Their bodies were sore. Some got chronically diarrhoea, some got allergies, some got abscesses the sizes of golf balls and others got brain damages.
Their job was to make wings for windmills. They were a part of the Danish green-energy success. And they weren’t fully aware that their working environment at the factories of LM Wind Power was poisonous.
One of many of the chemicals in making wings is called Styrene and the fumes are on the cancer list. When obtained in the body it shows yellowish from sweating. It smells like marzipan. A green world with an yellow secret. *** Henrik Vigeholm-Kloster worked 12 years on LM Wind Power. “ I got headaches and became tired. I felt sick to my stomach. If I slept on a white sheet it became yellow. I didn’t think about, because the money was good and I had good co-workers”. |
