🔸It is common for data centers to use gas turbines. Per the Sabey data center website, they sure do.
Gas turbines release 3 main types of pollutants: nitrogen oxides, formaldehyde, and fine particulate matter.
Nitrogen oxides can cause fluid build up in the lungs, worsen COPD, weaken the immune system making folks more susceptible to infections.
Formaldehyde causes cancer.
Fine particulate matter can pass through the lungs and into the bloodstream, causing heart disease.
