The view above of five large open-topped raw sewage tanks, from the viewpoint in the red arrow below.

To the left, the viewer sees a large building with the moss green flat roof – labs, testing. A wee wall attempts to protect it from sewage bioaerosols containing more bacteria and fungi which travel around 100m, than anyone could list here. To the left again, at the bottom of the image, the main hospital entrance and in the semi-circular, the hospital for children where cancer deaths were blamed by some on fungal contamination of water supply and drainage because the SNP hadn’t made sure it was properly maintained and all the pigeon poo cleared up.

Moving clockwise, 14 or so narrow grey roof panels covering the tanks where the sewage first arrives on site to be separated from objects that cannot be treated and which are taken away to landfill by lorries, and behind them, another twelve open-topped sewage storage tanks upwind of the wards.

Moving away from the hospital building and under what is Renfrew Road, 24 smaller, still open air, ponds.

Lots of movement, lots of air pollution:

Finally 12 huge circular, stirred open-air ponds.

Have they been covered? The furthest away from the hospital with the least toxic contents, just before being pumped into the river and they cover them?

In total around 50 ponds or tanks, most open-air and stirred, full of millions of litres of raw sewage, some leaking into the ground and almost all polluting the air for hundreds of metres around, especially when the main westerly winds blow.

Who in their right mind ever thought this was a good site for a hospital? It reminds me of those mafia series where scared officials give them the waste disposal contracts and they dump all manner of stuff into rivers and lakes.

When NHS Forth Valley decided to build a new super-hospital, they moved it even further away and still upwind. There’s no trace of debate in media from the time. I guess nobody tried to make them do something stupid like build it near Skinflats so they could build nice 4 bedroom houses in Larbert, handy for commuting to Glasgow or Stirling?

I can’t believe this. Can you? It’s mental.
