PHILIPSBURG:--- Its seems more than likely that Collective and Preventative Services (CPS) from the Ministry of Health has been ignoring the danger and side effects that the Zika virus has on patients that catch the virus. Just recently SMN News posted a photo of the pool at Algeria resort which is clearly a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
On Sunday SMN News visited Mary’s Fancy Plantation only to find a pool that turned into a swamp where mosquitoes are breeding while families with young children are living on the property.
Also visible is construction and renovation seems to be taking place at the plantation and while the Minister of Health Emil Lee cautioned the public to take the necessary precautions to prevent mosquito breeding and news reports are constantly informing the public about the Zika virus it is downright shameful to see APS the current owner of the property has chosen to ignore the health hazard they pose to the people living on the plantation and general public Read more

Landfill Fire Out, But Still Smoking

On Sunday afternoon, the smoldering landfill fire still sent toxic smoke towards residential areas. Photo Today / Hilbert Haar

St. Maarten News – The fire that broke out on the landfill on Friday afternoon may be “under control” but on Sunday afternoon the site was still emitting toxic smoke. That smoke contains dioxins, carcinogenic substances that could cause cancer but also a severe form of acne, known as chloracne. At high dose levels, dioxin could furthermore cause abnormalities to the enamel of children’s teeth; it could affect the central and peripheral nervous system, cause thyroid disorders, damage immune systems and cause endometriosis (tissue growth outside the uterus that could in turn lead to (chronic) pelvis pain and infertility) and – last but not least – diabetes.

High exposure to dioxins also changes the male/female birth ration in favor of females.

Significant is the observation that small concentrations of dioxins in water could accumulate to dangerously high levels, because the substance does not dissolve easily in water.

The Collective Prevention Services advised this weekend to people living downwind from the landfill fire to close their windows and doors Read more
