Death of 13 residents of DPS. The city excludes the influence of Legionella

Modern Nursing Home at ul. Cursed soldiers in Poznań were opened three years ago. 100 residents lived in comfortable conditions. Each room has its own bathroom, TV and internet access. There are balconies on the first floor, on the ground floor outing to the terrace. – The new DPS headquarters is a 21st century building: convenient, safe and friendly for seniors and visiting their guests – emphasized Jacek Jaśkowiak, president of Poznań during the opening. The residents of the residents are wondering if it really is. In January, Legionella’s hot water was detected.

A dangerous bacterium in DPS

According to Gazeta Wyborcza, the residents, instead of hearing about bacteria, learned that there was a failure. -On the day the hot water is turned off, the residents were informed about the failure-confirms us Magdalena Pietrusik-Adamska, director of the Health and Social Affairs Department of UMP. – Sanepid inspection carried out on January 27 showed that in the hot water installation the norm of the presence of Legionella bacteria is exceeded – he admits.

Legionella spreads by inhalation when inhaling an infected aerosol formed from micro water droplets with a bacterium, e.g. in a shower. -On the order of the Sanepid, the installation of hot water was excluded from use-explains Pietrusik-Adamska. – Consultation with a specialist in thermal and water installations, an inspection of the network was carried out in order to find the cause of bacteria, from January 27, the heat overheating procedure began in the installation to eliminate bacteria – mentions the director of the Health and Social Affairs Department of the City Hall to which the DPS is subject.

The city does not bind deaths with a dangerous bacteria

Re -examination on February 11 showed that in 3 out of 4 water intake points there is no longer legionella, and in one the norm is slightly exceeded. – February 17 this year The State Poviat Sanitary Inspector, based on the results sent by us, canceled the order to exclude the equipment and water installations warm in DPS from the operation of the DPS-informs Pietrusik-Adamska. – In the meantime, on February 14, high -power heaters were installed, allowing to raise the temperature to 60 degrees in hot water tanks – he adds.

It is worrying that only this year 13 DPS residents in Strzeszyn died. In January 5, and in February and March after 4. – 11 of them were lying people who did not use the showers. We have no reason to bind any of these deaths with the Legionelli bacterium – assures the director of the Health and Social Affairs Department of the Medical University. – As part of above -standard impacts, as an additional security on April 2, an agreement was signed with EURO CLEAN, in order to install a device for chlorinating water and performing a service over the device. Installation of the device and water disinfection will start on April 10. Re -examination of water will be conducted on April 18 – he adds.
