I don't know of any reputable company making blades out of PVC, it's just not strong enough, so it shouldn't be an issue, other plastic based blades tend to have UV stabilizers in the plastic, but on top of that they have to hold up to the stress of high wind, centrifugal force, dust in the air hitting them, ice clinging to them.
being a wind turbine is not an easy job.
