The hospital said in its statement that the brain tumor instances had happened over’many years’ and that all six staff had worked on its fifth level for ‘different durations’.
A ‘complete examination’ of the fifth floor environment was initiated by Newton-Wellesley Hospital in response to the alarming trend.
The OHS led the analysis, which was carried out by a team of professionals, including a number of independent firms.
A ‘thorough’ evaluation of the air and water quality, interviews with the staff members affected by health problems.
And extensive testing for possible exposures to chemicals, radiation, or pharmaceuticals have all been part of the study.
