Sewer workers could come in contact with Ebola in the air from untreated waste
from hospitals or treatment centers.
"Under the least-favorable scenario, the potential risk of developing Ebola virus disease from inhalation exposure is a value higher
than many risk managers may be
willing to accept," they reported.
"Further data gathering efforts are
necessary to improve the prevision
of the risk projections. The results
suggest that the potential risk that
sewer workers face when operating
in a wastewater collection system
downstream from a hospital receiving Ebola patients warrants
further attention, and current
authoritative guidance for Ebola
virus liquid waste disposal may be
insufficiently protective of sewer
worker safety."
While this study suggests that
new guidelines from the leading
public health authorities are likely
in order, the researchers acknowledge that their work is part of the
iterative process of understanding
how to safely contain and treat
the virus.
This study builds on Haas and
Bibby's previous work, which has
shaped the way experts understand Ebola risk. Their research on
how long Ebola can survive outside
the body raised important questions about how exposure can occur and how long patients should
be quarantined.
"We find this area of risk assessment to be particularly vital
because of the preponderance of
questions that remain about how
long Ebolavirus can survive outside the body," Haas said. "One
thing we do know from previous
research is that it is possible to
inhale the virus to cause a risk -
and it wouldn't take much. At this
point we haven't seen a confirmed
case of somebody contracting
Ebola in this way, and our hope is
that this work can contribute to
revised guidelines that will keep it
that way."
Wearing properly fitting protective gear can reduce the risk of exposure to Ebola.
