Fears mount of another Legionnaires' outbreak as toll hits 80 after eight more people are diagnosed with the deadly disease
- Leading Legionnaire's expert claimed cash-strapped firms were deliberately falsifying safety logs and said the practice could have devastating consequences
- Bacteria thought to have been transmitted via droplets of infected water from cloud of gas rising into the air
- Health chiefs questioned over delay in investigating all possible avenues
- Labourer Robert Air, 56, died from deadly bug in Edinburgh Royal Infirmary
- Tens of thousands at risk as epidemic could spread 44 square miles from source
- Symptoms include coughing, chest pains, fever and chills
A further eight people were yesterday confirmed to be suffering from Legionnaire's disease as the deadly outbreak continued to take its toll.
It means 36 people have now been struck down by the bug – which has already caused the death of one man – with a further 44 in Edinburgh waiting for test results confirming whether they are also infected with the waterborne virus.
Of the 80 confirmed and suspected cases, 15 are in intensive care and 27 are in general wards. A further 16 cases are being treated in the community and a number of people have already been discharged from hospital.

Checks: An Edinburgh distillery yesterday, one of the possible sources of the Legionnaires disease outbreak
The new figures came as experts warned of a fresh wave of outbreaks. They blame cutbacks on health inspectors, coupled with recession-hit companies neglecting safety measures, for creating the ideal conditions for potentially lethal bacteria to thrive.
One leading Legionnaire's expert claimed firms were deliberately falsifying safety logs and said the practice could have devastating consequences.
Public health consultant David Harper said outbreak prevention measures had slipped to dangerous levels and were not policed as rigorously as they should be.
He said: 'Local environmental health officers have been cut back, which means we may see more outbreaks of Legionnaire's. When times are tight, maintenance is one of the first things to be cut. This goes right across the board – at hospitals, hotels and any facility which has water systems, air-conditioning or cooling towers.
'Businesses are ticking boxes and saying they are doing all these checks, but in reality not all of them are. They are gambling with peoples' lives.'
The source of the Edinburgh outbreak has yet to be identified but health authorities believe the bacteria found its way into one of 16 cooling towers in the south-west of the city. The towers, thought to be responsible for the worst outbreak of its kind for 30 years, have all now been chemically treated.
The first case of the disease was discovered last Tuesday. The victims range in age from 33 to 76, with men more affected than women. The only link between them is an association with south-west Edinburgh.
Last night, a Health and Safety Executive spokesman said: 'We have maintained the broad number of inspectors and other staff over the past five years. It is wrong to claim numbers have been significantly reduced.'
Yesterday, Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon said: 'The risk to the public remains low. I want to stress this bacteria is not passed on person to person or by drinking water.'
A whisky distillery last night found itself at the centre of the Legionnaires' disease outbreak after failing safety checks on a cooling tower.
The North British Distillery Company was yesterday served with an Improvement Notice by the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
The watchdog found the firm's tower had not been properly treated with chemicals to kill bacteria, including legionella.
Deadly: A conceptual image of Legionella Pneumophila bacteria, which causes Legionnaires' Disease
Scotland's health secretary said the number of cases could still rise, despite a chemical clean-up of the industrial site thought to be responsible.
An HSE statement said the improvement notice does not mean the tower concerned is where the outbreak originated.
The firm has already taken all three of its cooling towers at the site out of operation.
Scottish Health Secretary Nicola Sturgeon has said it is 'not always possible to conclusively determine the precise source of an outbreak'.
The dead man has been named locally as Robert Air, 56, from the Seafield area of Edinburgh, who had reportedly been working as a labourer on a building site in Gorgie before becoming unwell.
Another 14 patients are critically ill in intensive care following the outbreak, with 28 cases confirmed and 46 suspected. Ten people have now been discharged from hospital.
It can take up to two weeks for people to show symptoms after being infected with the disease. The potentially fatal infection could spread up to 44 square miles from the source, affecting tens of thousands of people.
Two patients are being treated outside of the NHS Lothian area - in the Highlands and in the North of England.
Ms Sturgeon said: 'I want to stress that, although these patients are being treated elsewhere, they are considered part of the south-west Edinburgh outbreak. They have had association with the affected area.
Outbreak: A man in his 50s has died and 15 people are in a critical condition after an outbreak of Legionnaires' at the Edinburgh Royal Infirmary
'I would hope that over the next few days those investigations will start to deliver more specific answers on where the source of the outbreak might be.'
Legionnaires' is a potentially fatal lung infection caused by the Legionella bacteria. It is caught by breathing in contaminated water droplets and cannot be spread from person to person.
Scottish health authorities believe the bacteria may have found their way into one of several cooling towers in the south-west of Edinburgh. The tower then emitted a cloud of vapour with the bacteria in the tiny water droplets.
The outbreak is believed to be the worst of its kind to hit Scotland for 30 years. Most of the victims diagnosed so far are men aged from their mid-thirties to mid-eighties, mainly living in the Dalry, Gorgie and Saughton areas in the south-west of the city.
All those affected are men and women aged between 33 and 74.
A spokesman from the North British Distillery in Edinburgh said: 'Our thoughts are clearly with the families of those affected by this situation.
'The North British Distillery is actively working with the relevant authorities on the matter and supporting their ongoing inquiries to ascertain the source of the Legionella bacteria.
A map showing the location of the Legionnaires' disease outbreak
'Industrial cooling towers are only one potential source of infection, and the North British Distillery is one of a number of sites in the area with industrial cooling towers.
'The site has been inspected and nothing of concern was found. However, we are awaiting the results of the analysis of the samples taken by Edinburgh City Council Environmental Health Department.
'We wish to reassure the local community that we will comply fully with any guidance issued by the relevant agencies.'
Ms Sturgeon said 16 cooling towers
identified as possible sources of the outbreak were chemically treated
last week and a fresh round of chemical treatment is under way in the
She said: 'No link has been identified between these patients other than a general association with the affected area in the south-west of Edinburgh.
'What that does is underline the view that the source of this infection is an outdoor community source and not an indoor-specific source, such as… a spa in a hotel.
Duncan McCormick, chairman of NHS Lothian's incident management team
said: 'We're doing everything we can in terms of early diagnosis,
appropriate treatment and intensive care, but I think we can't rule out
any further deaths at this stage.'
Legionnaires' is three times more common in men than women and mostly affects the over 50s. The elderly, smokers, and those with cancer, diabetes and kidney disease are also at higher risk.
Legionnaires' disease is a potentially fatal lung infection caused by the bacteria legionella.
The bacteria is commonly found in any freshwater areas but can sometimes find its way into artificial water supply systems.
It is contracted when small droplets of contaminated water in the air are breathed in, but is not spread from person to person.
The elderly, smokers, diabetes sufferers, those with kidney disease and cancer patients are most at risk, and men are three times more likely to contract the disease than women.
of the disease include headaches, muscle pain, high fever, chills, a
persistent cough, shortness of breath, chest pains and sometimes
vomiting and diarrhoea.
About half of those who contract the disease experience changes to their mental state, such as confusion.
Symptoms can start between two and 14 days after exposure.
The disease is treated by intravenous antibiotics.
Around 10% of people victims will die from arising complications.
Large buildings such as hotels, hospitals and museums are more vulnerable to contamination because they have larger, more complex water supply systems, which can let the contamination spread quickly.
symptoms include muscle pain, a fever, a persistent cough, chest pains
and sometimes vomiting and diarrhoea. Although it can be treated by
antibiotics, about one in ten patients will die.
Once it has infected your lungs, Legionnaires' causes a persistent cough and the coughing up of mucus or possibly blood followed by chest pains, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhoea.
Around half of those with the disease risk changes to their mental state, and may find themselves confused.
It is so called because it was identified at a hotel hosting a convention of the American Legion veterans organisation in Philadelphia in 1976.
'I would like to express my sincere condolences to the family of the patient who died,' said Dr McCormick.
'I would urge anyone who develops symptoms of Legionnaires' disease to contact NHS 24 or their GP.
'People who fall into certain risk groups, these are males who are adults, who have an alcohol, drinking habit and have an underlying illness such as diabetes, or heart disease or lung disease - these people are at greater risk.
'These people should be very much aware that if they start feeling symptoms of flu-like illness, together with diarrhoea, cough and confusion, they should be consulting their GP or NHS 24 as soon as possible.'
The first case was identified on Monday May 28, and since then the numbers have soared.
Dr McCormick said there was no threat to the city's public water supply.
'The public water supply in Edinburgh is extremely closely monitored and in addition it's not possible to contract Legionnaires' disease through drinking water.
'It's contracted through the inhalation of water vapour in the form of an aerosol and that doesn't and that doesn't happen through drinking water supplies.'

Grigor Dimitrov Loses To Nishikori, Out Of Miami Masters
Bulgaria's tennis player Grigor Dimitrov lost to Japan's Key Nishikori in two sets and dropped out of the Masters tournament in Miami.
This was the second loss of Dimitrov against the Japanese player.
During the match Dimitrov won the sympathy of the spectators by helping out one of the children on the court, which fainted because of the heat and the high humidity.
Dimitrov gained 45 points, and, depending on the other players, next week he might climb up to the record in his career 14-th position in the ATP world rankings, or retain his current 16-th position.

Each growing project has its own character. The roof of the Fringe Club is dedicated to herbs and vegetables: basil, rosemary, mint, lemon-balm, okra, cucumbers and spinach. Rooftop Republic work with local chefs and some of these crops go to local restaurants, so if you have consumed a particularly tasty meal or cocktail in Central it may be thanks to this rooftop-farm.
Other produce goes to the foodbanks in the city, and Rooftop Republic runs projects with schools which allow students to take home some of the fruits of their curricular studies in science and biology. Similarly the project runs training and workshops for local participants who can enjoy the rewards of their growing labours.

With a focus on seasonal, unprocessed food and a classically trained chef at the kitchen's helm, New Milford's menu resembles that of a chic, farm-to-table restaurant rather than a typical hospital cafeteria: The vegetable dish will depend on what was picked from its rooftop garden that day, or what it received from the nine local farms from which it regularly sources ingredients. The finished product is a healthful menu (a typical dessert is a chickpea chocolate cake, for instance) that New Milford's patients, staff and community have come to love.
"Often, patients will be discharged, and will ask if they can stay for lunch," says Chef Kerry Gold.

Urban farmers on the rise, with more city dwellers seek healthy food and comfort in farming

At Dari, another rooftop farm near Hongik University Station, some 40 members own "boxes" of land on the rooftop of the Catholic Youth Center in Mapo-gu, Seoul.
Each member is allocated a box-sized space where they can grow crops. Popular ones include tomatoes, paprika, ginger, eggplants and rucola, according to Park Jeong-ja, an urban farmer and educator, who manages the place.
"The reason people turn rooftops into farms is that there is no available space on the ground for farming in the city. If you have a spare piece of land in the city, it's considered a source of investment, not a farm," said Park.

For rooftop gardens, where full sun can beat down all summer long, an irrigation system helps.
"The soil gets really dried out. It's important to have a cover on the soil. We mulch with a thick layer of hay, which retains the moisture and absorbs the heat," said Mailander. "If you don't have an irrigation system, you'll have to water and mulch often."
To get the soil up five stories, Avesta used a crane. But Mailander recommends independent homeowners use what's handy. "Compost, leaves, manure … garden in place," is her motto.

It has about 12,400 sq m of total floor space, largely abandoned but too solid and expensive to knock down. In the Netherlands, 18% of offices are empty, due to the two last economic crises and cuts in the size of government. Dr Hilde Remøy of Delft University of Technology has predicted office vacancy in the Netherlands will soon reach 25%, the highest in Europe. According to Cushman & Wakefield's global office forecast 2015-16, the European average will be about 10%.

Netherlands: Farming fish and vegetables on a The Hague office rooftop
An empty Philips office block in the heart of The Hague is producing vegetables and fish on a commercial basis.

This dilapidated, 1950s office block in the middle of The Hague, is growing something astonishing: on its sixth floor is a 370 sqm fish farm, while the roof has been converted to a 1,200 sqm greenhouse for vegetables, making this Europe's largest commercial urban farm.
'I grew up on a farm in Aberdeenshire,' says Durno. 'One of my jobs as a six-year-old was to pick up the milk for the morning breakfast from the dairy. The only thing I got excited about was that the cream separated. We have this disconnect with what fresh is, instead of enjoying the fact that we have a good quality, fresh product in our mouths without questioning it.'

A private New Mexico company is partnering with Santa Fe Community College to build its first urban agriculture system that will yield enough food to provide vegetables and fish for more than 16,000 people.
The $6.5 million project, which will be owned and operated by Ecoponex Systems of New Mexico LLC, is expected to create 14 direct jobs and 34 construction jobs, while SFCC will host it in connection with its Biofuels Lab in the Trades and Advanced Technology Center. CEO Benjamin Brant said the community college's national reputation for its education efforts in green technologies that are used in the system was part of the deciding factor in locating the project here.

Rooftop Reds – Vineyard in Brooklyn
Our mission is ambitious, going well beyond merely bringing viticulture to the urban agriculture industry.

Rooftop Reds is a 15,000 square-foot farm that covers a rooftop at the Brooklyn Navy Yard, and we're on track to be the first commercially viable rooftop vineyard system in the world. We aim to bring vineyards to the city, because even with the recently popularity of rooftop agriculture, roof space is still a largely untapped resource in urban environments. Greater New York is the largest urban wine market in the world and we think it deserves its own vintage. Many other urban wineries exist, but none grow their own crop or have wines that represent where they do business.

Africa: Women in Kenya's Mathare slum turn their tin roofs into vegetable gardens
A view of one part of Mathare.
Iron sheet farming and hanging gardens practised in Mathare and Korogocho slums are some of the urban farming techniques that are slowly adding to a raft of measures put in place to guarantee food security and nutrition in informal settlements.
By Ejidiah Wangui

Behind overlapping shanties and overcrowded streets in the slums, is a novel roof gardening project that has been feeding over 100 households while providing income to slum women struggling to make ends meet at a time when food prices especially in urban areas have been on an unprecedented highs.
The "gardens", Wamuhu said, are mounted on top of small structures, some as small as 10 by 10 meters, which are the standard structures in the area and which accommodate on average five family members.
