Renal Failure Cases on Rise - The New Indian Express PDF Print

BARGARH:  Even as more cases of renal failure are coming to fore in Ghumnipali under Sohela block of the district, health officials continue to grapple in the dark about reason behind the ailment.

While 10 villagers have already died due to the disease in the last two years, 12 others have been affected. Sources said in the hamlet of Rohidaspada under Ghumnipali village, 10 persons have died due to renal failure in the last two years. They are Devaki Rohidas (45), Sundarmani (55), Pabitra (20), Sundar (50), Lochan (40), Bharat (35), Kunu (15), Mahadeb (40), Muchu (30) and Kaira Rohidas (40) . As of now, 12 villagers are suffering from kidney ailment. While villagers said the disease was an outcome of contaminated drinking water, Medical Officer of Sohela Community Health Centre Ranjan Kumar Mohapatra said the problem has nothing to do with water. He said as the patients belong to a particular community, there could be something wrong with their eating habits.

Having a population of 1300 people, Ghumnipali has seven tubewells. Two of these tubewells are installed in Rohidaspada and around 250 persons depend on them for drinking water.

One of the affected persons, Dalimba, said all of them first suffered from fever and severe bodyache. “Later, we had swelling in different parts of body and doctors diagnosed renal failure as the reason behind the ailment,” he added. They suspect chemical contamination of the drinking water source.

Executive Engineer of RWSS, Bargarh, Aurobindo Jena said water samples were collected from the village and sent for test. “The water samples were found to be safe for consumption,” he said.

Police seek whoever dumped dialysis waste in Michigan City - South Bend Tribune PDF Print

Posted: Thursday, July 2, 2015 6:00 am | Updated: 6:10 am, Thu Jul 2, 2015.

MICHIGAN CITY — Police in Michigan City are looking into the illegal dumping of nearly two dozen boxes of used at-home kidney dialysis equipment and 2-liter bags of urine.

Also in the boxes were used syringes and small amounts of blood, said Jeff Hamilton, director of the LaPorte County Hazardous Materials Department.

The discovery was made Tuesday afternoon at a recycling dropoff site near the Marquette Mall off U.S 20.

Each of 23 boxes contained several used dialysis kits, but they were neatly repackaged and there was little, if any, leakage, said Hamilton.

With help from the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, the area was secured and the items safely removed and placed in storage until Monday when a firm specializing in safe disposal of medical waste is scheduled to pick them up, said Hamilton.

The recycling drop-off bin is owned by the LaPorte County Solid Waste District, which recently began using surveillance to try and curb a problem with large amounts of various trash being regularly dumped at the site.

Alicia Ebaugh, education and public outreach coordinator for the LCSWD, said surveillance video was turned over to police..

Hamilton said the boxes had postmarks that indicate delivery by United Parcel Service to a man at a specific address.

Hamilton said the fear with such reckless disposal is someone through contact developing hepatitis or some other disease that might be present in the waste.

Ebaugh said the used tubes and other dialysis materials can be placed into the regular trash as long as those items are double bagged in plastic.

She said the recycling dropoff area will continue to be monitored to discourage all illegal dumpers and IDEM will seek to recover costs of this medical waste cleanup from whoever is responsible.
