CIGAR 170 REVERE ST., REVERE (781) 289-4959 Chris 2024 “On Jan. 9, 2025, an equipment malfunction caused the steam turbine to trip, resulting in an excess emission event on one boiler that we reported to our regulatory agencies,” WIN Waste Innovations Facility Manager Elliott Casey said this week. “We monitor emissions in a multitude of ways and in this case the 4-hour average of CO emissions was 111ppm with a permit limit of 100 ppm,” Casey said. “Facility operators took immediate action to restore normal operations. The drag valve and silencer worked as designed during the turbine trip and venting and the turbine was back online within two hours,” he said. Public Health nurse talks about Avian Flu T he chances of contracting the Avian Flu H5N1 in the United States are extremely rare, according to Public Health Nurse Teresa Riley-Singh. There’s been one death in the United States – in Louisiana – Riley-Singh said in her briefi ng to the Board of Health on Monday. Since 2024, there have been 66 human cases of the bird fl u in the United States; 67 cases since 2022. “Outside the U.S., there have been 950 cases of H5N1, half of those resulting in death,” she said. “There has been no person to person contact reported, only animal to person H5N1 is similar to s/s of infl uenza A & B, However, s/s seems to be more severe,” she said. Here’s what you can do to protect yourself from the Avian Flu: Do not eat or drink unpasteurized products. Milk here in Massachusetts is checked before being packaged. Do not go near wild animals, birds. Monitor domestic animals and birds. Do not go near animals and birds with off behavior or that appear sick. Take shoes off in home – bird feces can be passed on by feces that can be on the bottom of shoes. Riley-Singh said there were 44 cases of COVID in Saugus last month. Since the outbreak of COVID-19 in March of 2020, there have been 123 COVID-related deaths in Saugus.
