     The U.S. Environmental  Protection Agency was created because of increas-
ing public and government concern about the dangers of pollution to the health
and welfare of the American people.   Noxious air, foul  water, and spoiled land
are tragic testimony to the deterioration of our national environment.   The
complexity of that environment and the interplay between its components re-
quire a concentrated and integrated  attack  on the problem.

     Research and development is that necessary first step  in problem solution
and it involves defining the problem, measuring its impact, and searching for
solutions.  The primary mission of the Health Effects Research Laboratory in
Cincinnati (HERL) is to provide a sound health effects  data base in support of
the regulatory activities of the EPA.  To this end, HERL conducts a research
program to identify, characterize, and quantitate harmful effects of pollutants
that may result from exposure to chemical,  physical,  or biological  agents found
in the environment.  In addition to  the valuable health information generated
by these activities, new research techniques and methods are being developed
that contribute to a better understanding of human biochemical  and physiologi-
cal functions, and how these functions are  altered by low-level  insults.

     This report provides an assessment and discussion  of data obtained as  part
of a comprehensive health study in a community having an activated sludge waste-
water treatment plant, to determine  if the  plant could  be related to any ill-
ness in the community.  With a better understanding of the  health effects,
measures can be developed to reduce  exposure to potentially harmful  materials.

                                   ABSTRACT

      Data obtained as part of a comprehensive community health study conducted
during 1965-1971  were utilized to examine the incidence of acute illness in a
population surrounding an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant and a
control  location  in Tecumseh,  Michigan.   Study participants were classified in-
to concentric rings of approximately 600m each by dwelling unit distance
from either site.  School children were  classified by school attended in a sim-
ilar manner.   The additive minimum discrimination information statistic was
used to test for  significant differences in the incidence of total,  respira-
tory, and gastrointestinal illnesses among individuals dwelling within con-
centric rings.  When specifying socioeconomic factors, education and income
exerted an unequal  influence on the significance of illness incidence variation
and, in general,  such variations between geographic locations were found to be
greatest in groups having the lowest income and education.

      Differences in illness incidence occurred during the May through October
season at varying distances from the wastewater treatment plant, but persons
within 600m appeared to have a greater than expected risk of respiratory and
gastrointestinal  illness.  Persons dwelling within 600m of the plant had
respiratory illnesses that exceeded those expected by 20% and 27%, and gastro-
intestinal illnesses that exceeded those expected by 78% and 50% when specified
for income and education, respectively.   The data suggest the higher illness
rates are related to higher densities of lower socioeconomic families rather
than the wastewater treatment plant.

      The group within the 1800 to 2400m concentric rings from the wastewater
treatment plant had a greater than expected incidence of respiratory illnesses
during both warm and cold seasons.  During the May-October season, income-
and education-specific total illness as  well as income-specific respiratory
illness differences were found to be significant in the wastewater treatment
plant-related groups.  Significant differences were not found in the control
location-related groups at this distance.  However, the higher than expected
illness cannot be related to the wastewater treatment plant itself.

      Differences in total illness were observed in the school children with
regard to distance of school attended from both the wastewater treatment
plant and control location.  The schools, however, were very unevenly distri-
buted with reference to distance from these locations.

      This report was submitted in fulfillment of Grant R-804973 by The
University of Michigan under the sponsorship of the U.S. Environmental
Protection Agency.

                                  SECTION 1

                                INTRODUCTION
     Centralized processes of wastewater treatment aid sanitation efforts
in populated areas throughout the world.  Most of these processes produce
aerosols that can become windborne and be carried from the site of treatment.
These aerosols can contain many of the chemical  and biological  substances
found in wastewater.   A literature review by Hickey and Reist (1975) showed
that bacterial aerosols are emitted from these treatment processes and that
they can be carried varying distances from the site of origin,  depending
upon environmental conditions.  Although existing methodology is below the
required sensitivity for the routine isolation of animal viruses from the
airborne emissions of wastewater treatment facilities (Fannin et al. , 1977),
enteroviruses have reportedly been recovered from aerosols emitted from
wastewater spray irrigation processes (Johnson et al., 1977; Teltsch and
Katzenelson, 1978).  The health significance of exposure to these emissions
has not been adequately determined.

     Some evidence regarding the health effects of exposure to wastewater
is, however, available.  Ledbetter et al.  (1973)  showed that wastewater
treatment plant workers had a higher incidence of influenza than water
treatment plant workers and Katzenelson et al. (1976), in a retrospective
study,  showed that persons living in agricultural communal settlements
practicing wastewater spray irrigation had a higher incidence of
shigellosis, salmonellosis, typhoid fever, and infectious hepatitis
than those who lived in settlements that did not  irrigate with wastewater.

     Before undertaking extensive epidemiological studies regarding the
health effects of wastewater treatment facilities, existing data were
utilized for the evaluation of these effects.   The city of Tecumseh,
Michigan was selected as a study site because  an  intensive community
health study was being conducted by The University of Michigan  and it
provided an opportunity to utilize uniquely comprehensive data  on the
epidemiological experience of an entire community.

     The purpose of the study was:  (1) to determine whether there are
differences in general illness incidence,  depending upon population dwelling
distance from a wastewater treatment facility; (2) to determine the suita-
bility of Tecumseh, Michigan as a site for a long-term prospective study
regarding the influence of wastewater treatment upon the health of exposed
populations.

                                  SECTION 2

                                 CONCLUSIONS
     Income- and education-specific illness differences were most significant
at differing study area locations among individuals dwelling within low
income and education households.   A consistently greater than expected
number of illnesses were found in those persons residing within the 1800 to
2400m wastewater treatment plant concentric ring.  The reasons for this
higher illness incidence cannot be conclusively determined without further
study.

     Significant income- and education-specific illness differences occurred
during the study period and during the colder months within concentric rings
radiating from both the wastewater treatment plant and from a control
location.  Summed income- and education-specific total as well as income-
specific respiratory illnesses were significantly different at varying
distances from the wastewater treatment plant during May through October.
No significant differences in the occurrence of these illnesses were,  however,
found during these months at varying distances from the control site.   During
the warmer seasons, summed respiratory illnesses within 600m of the waste-
water treatment plant exceeded those expected by 20% and 27% and summed
gastrointestinal illnesses exceeded those expected by 78% and 50% when
specified for income and education, respectively.  These are, however,
suggestive and not necessarily significant differences.

     Differences in illness incidence occurred from May through October at
varying distances from the wastewater treatment plant and persons dwelling
within 600m of this plant appeared to have a greater than expected risk of
respiratory and gastrointestinal  illness.  The data do not, however,
demonstrate a causal effect and factors other than the wastewater treatment
plant, such as higher rates of illness transmission in areas of higher
densities of lower socioeconomic families, could have contributed to these
findings.  Total illness differences, with respect to distance from both the
wastewater treatment plant and control location, were observed in children
by school attended, but these results are inconclusive since the schools
were found to be very unevenly distributed with regard to distance from
these locations.  The available comprehensive data base, together with
ongoing enteric disease investigations within the study area, make Tecumseh,
Michigan a very suitable model for further evaluation of the influence of
a wastewater treatment plant on community health.

                                  SECTION 3

                               RECOMMENDATIONS


     Further study should focus upon persons within lower socioeconomic
groups throughout the study area and upon those dwelling within 600m of
the wastewater treatment plant.  Since this investigation did not demonstrate
a causal effect, further retrospective study of available data should
identify factors associated with apparent or suggested increased illness
risks within the specified groups.

     The dispersion of wastewater treatment plant aerosol emissions and
the resultant probability of community exposure is influenced by local
meteorological conditions.  If dwelling unit locations of persons with
higher illness risks were specified with respect to this exposure
probability, an association between aerosol emission concentration and
illness risk could be evaluated.  Another approach would be to evaluate
illness risk in terms of intrafamilial transmission rates.   If, for example,
an association were determined, the wastewater treatment plant may not  be
the major contributing factor to the higher than expected illness rates.

     Further prospective study should determine probable exposure to
wastewater treatment plant emissions while increasing tne surveillance  of
the population dwelling nearest the plant.  A design permitting the
estimation of community transmission parameters would enable separation of
the influence of the wastewater treatment plant from other potential
sources of transmission.

     Procedures for recruitment and surveillance have been previously
described by Monto et al.  (1971).   The dwelling units of Tecumseh, Michigan
were divided into 10 samples by stratified random sampling from each of
five geographic strata described by Napier (1962)(Appendix).   This sampling
procedure resulted in 10 sets of households with characteristics exemplary
of the entire community.  Each of the households within the 10 samples was
randomly ordered for visit by trained interviewers.   For purposes of a study
of acute respiratory infections, 18-24 families were introduced per sample,
with exception of the first six months of the study  when 48 families were
recruited per sample. This family recruitment was interrupted during late 1966
upon completion of the tenth sample and then resumed in March, 1967.  Until
May, 1967 eligible study families contained parents  under age 45 and least
one child of school  age or younger. After this date, as part  of a chronic
bronchitis study, families containing older adults were gradually added using
the methods described.  Data were obtained from the participating families
regarding health history,  socioeconomic factors, employment locations, and
schools attended by all children.   All data were punched onto computer cards
and were later transferred to computer tape.

     After recruitment, each family was contacted weekly by telephone or
personal visit and a single respondent was questioned regarding the
occurrence of short term illness within the family during the past week.
When illness was reported, the details of the specific event were recorded
using the questionnaire shown in figure 1.

     The respondent was contacted during the weeks following the initial
report and asked whether the illness persisted and to describe the  symptoms.
The date of illness termination, if any, was obtained and the respondent
was questioned regarding other illness development within the family.  An
illness occurring at least two days after a termination date was regarded
as a new event.

STUDY POPULATION ShlECTlON

     The study population was defined as those participants in The university
of Michigan Tecumseh Community Health Study from 1965 to 1971  who resided
in dwelling units at specific distance ranges from the Tecumseh wastewater
treatment plant, located in the southeast quadrant of the city (figure 2).
Dwelling units located within each of five concentric rings and beyond,
radiating from the plant in approximate multiples of 600m, were identified.
Dwelling units were likewise identified with a second set of concentric
rings constructed around a nonemitting location.  This site was located in the
northwest quadrant of the city in an undeveloped area approximately 180m  west
of Seminole and 275m south of Brown Roads.  This control location was selected
because it is upwind from the wastewater treatment plant and had a surrounding
population density comparable to that of the study groups.  The dwelling units
within the study area were primarily single family houses, although multiple
family units occurred at various locations within the area,  confirmation of
dwelling unit locations near concentric ring boundaries was made by site
visitation.  All dwelling units studied were assigned to concentric rings
surrounding Doth the wastewater treatment plant and control location.  Data
with reference to each index point were analyzed separately.

     The population used in nonseasonal-related analyses included those
individuals who were contacted at least 50 weeks in a row with no absences
during four or more weeks.  The illnesses included are those whose onset
occurred within this 50-week period.  The entire population on report from
1965 to 1971 was used for determination of true illness incidence rates.

     As used in this study, colder months included November through April
whereas warmer months included May through October.  In each case, the study
population was defined as those persons on report for the entire 26 week
period, with no long periods (two weeks or more) off report.  The illnesses
included are those whose onset occurred during the 26-week period.


ILLNESS CLASSIFICATION

     Acute illnesses were grouped into three general categories:  total,
respiratory, and gastrointestinal.  Data are reported as incidence rates and
as individual illness rates.  Age-sex-distance-specific true incidence rates
were determined by dividing the number of each kind of illness by the number
of person-years observed within each group.  Age-sex-distance-specific
individual illness rates were calculated by number of illnesses during report
period/number of weeks on report.


STATISTICAL ANALYSES

     The objective of the statistical analyses was to determine whether the
incidence of illness varied with distance of the dwelling unit from the waste-
water treatment plant, and, in children, also whether incidence depended upon
distance of the school attended from the wastewater treatment plant.  Dwelling
units and schools were also classified with respect to distance from a control

point.  Ancillary information for each respondent included,  age,  sex,  educa-
tion of the head of the household, and family income.

     The null  hypothesis, tested separately for the  wastewater treatment  plant
and the control  point,  was that the proportion of persons  in the  high
incidence category was  the same in the subsets defined by  distance from the
index point.   The distribution of respondents by age and sex varied from  one
distance category to another, and also depended on which of  the index  points
was being considered.   The test statistic for the null hypothesis was  a chi-
square goodness  of fit  test in which the expected frequencies were determined
by a model which incorporated differences in age and sex distributions of
illness rates  in the distance categories.

     We let 0-Hk be the observed number of individuals in  the i   age-sex
group in the j™ distance interval from the index point, in  illness category
k where

     i = 1,2,..., 18, where the nine age intervals are those
                     indicated in table 1

     j = 1,2,..., 6: the six distance intervals determined
                    by  the five concentric rings about the
                    index point
     k = 1,2:  the illness categories
           1 :  n  or fewer illnesses in the interval
           2:  n+1 or more illnesses in the interval
              where n was selected for each analysis according
              to type of illness and duration of the interval.

Then, summing, the following counts were obtained:

    0,-jk = EO-jjk;  the  number of individuals in the  jtn distance
                   category and kth illness category
0,-  =

                  -|un age-sex group

                  the number of individuals in the i™ age-sex
                  group who are in illness category k
Assuming, as specified by the null hypothesis, that illness category was
independent of distance from the index point, the expected number of indivi
duals in the i^1 age-sex group was
Thus, within the ith age-sex group, the expected number of individuals in the
jktn cross-classification was proportional to the marginal  totals.  The
expected number of persons at distance j in illness category k was

                              xjk = ?xijk

-------
     The test statistic was the minimum discrimination information statistic,
described by Kullback (1959) and Kullback  et al.  (1962),
                               21 = 2£0ik In
                                       Jk    xjk
The information statistic is distributed as chi-square with (k-1)(j-1)  degrees
of freedom'.  Significant departures of the observed from the expected  fre-
quencies, as indicated by the test statistic, led to rejection of the null
hypothesis against the alternative of an association between high illness
rates and distance from the index point.

     Besides the differences in age and sex among the distance categories,  the
socioeconomic  status of respondents varied geographically, and differences
in proportions of respondents at different levels of illness might have
accounted for associations of illness rate and distance from the index  point.
The observed number of respondents in illness category k, in distance category
j, and at level 1 was Oj^i, where 1 was the family income or education level,
depending on the analysis, and was defined as follows:
                      2
         Family Income
                      1: less than $7000
                      2: $7000-9999
                      3: $10000 or more

         Education of head of household
                      1: less than high school diploma
                      2: high school degree
                      3: some college or college degree

     Within age-sex categories, the observed number was 0-,-j^]  and the  ex-
pected number was X-jj|
-------
The test of significance was a conditional test for a fixed value of 1.
Among persons at socioeconomic level  1, the proportion in the high incidence
category was the same in all subsets  as defined by distance from the index
point.  The test statistic was
with (j-l)(k-l) degrees of freedom.

     The hypothesis of equality of illness rates in the distance categories
for a given socioeconomic level was  the conditional Hypothesis for fixed,
but not specified, socioeconomic levels.  The test was a joint test on the
three levels simultaneously.   The test statistic was the sum of the infor-
mation statistics for the three individual tests

                                 1

the individual tests.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT

     The Tecumseh wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located in the
southeast quadrant of the city (Figure 2).  The plant is at a lower elevation
than most of the populated study area and is surrounded by deciduous
trees on the east, west, and south.  This plant processes approximately
1 million gallons of wastewater per day  (MGD) by activated sludge secondary
treatment.  Activated sludge has been in use since 1965, when the plant was
redesigned from a trickling filtration facility.  Data that might be used
to estimate the fecal contribution to the wastewater, such as total or fecal
coliform concentrations, are not available for the study period.  Wastewater
flow rates for the study period were not available from the Tecumseh WWTP,
but available data were obtained from the Michigan Department of Natural
Resources.
METEOROLOGY

     The dispersion of airborne contaminants from wastewater treatment
plants is strongly influenced by wind direction and velocity.  Local data
on these parameters are not available from the immediate Tecumseh vicinity.
A STAR program printout consisting of windspeed averages from 16 compass
points for six stability classes based on data collected at the Detroit
Metropolitan Airport was obtained from the National Climatic Center,
Asheville, N.C.  The data are for the years 1969 through 1973, however,
and are not strictly inclusive of the study period.

                                  RESULTS
SEWAGE FLOW

     Average monthly sewage flow rates at the Tecumseh wastewater treatment
plant ranged between 0.64 and 1.18 MGD from 1965 to 1971.   Data,  however,
were not available for 1966 and some data for 1965, 1968,  and 1969 are
missing.  As shown in figure 3, the lowest sewage flow rates were observed
during 1965 and the highest monthly average was seen in 1968.  Although
flow rate fluctuations are observed, no consistent flow pattern is evident
among the study years.


INDIVIDUAL ILLNESS INCIDENCE

     Age-sex-location-specific individual illness incidence rates per person-
year for the Tecumseh study population during 1965 to  1971 are presented in
tables 1-6.  The data are grouped for each sex into nine age intervals at
six distances from both reference points. The concentric ring boundaries are
those for a specific ring and are not cumulative.  For example, the 1200m
boundary is from 600m  to 1200m  and not Om  to 1200m    In general,  illness
incidence rates were higher in females than in males and varied inversely
with age in both sexes.  Lower incidence rates were observed for  gastro-
intestinal  illnesses than for the other illness classifications.   Although
illness incidence variations wereobserved among individuals dwelling  within
WWTP or control location concentric rings, statistical analyses of these
data, in the form presented, are not appropriate.


EVALUATION OF ILLNESS INCIDENCE BY DISTANCE FROM WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT

     The illness experience of individuals on report for 50 or more weeks
during 1965-1971 according to distance of their dwelling units from the
wastewater treatment plant or control location is presented in table  7.
The number of persons reported in the total illness category is not
necessarily the sum of those in respiratory and gastrointestinal  illness
classifications since the criteria for inclusion within a  specific group
are based upon different numbers of illness occurrences.   For analyses,
the number of persons having four or more total, three or  more respiratory,
or one or more gastrointestinal illnesses during the report period was deter-
mined.  Total  and respiratory illnesses were shown to be significantly different
                                     11

between populations dwelling within the concentric rings  located at varying
distances from the wastewater treatment plant.   These observations  were
significant at the 99% confidence level for total  illnesses  and at  the  95%
confidence level  for respiratory illnesses.  No significant  differences in
illness were observed in similar analyses for the population radiating  from
the control location.  Observed illnesses were consistently  greater than
expected illnesses in the concentric rings having outer boundaries  of 1800m
and 2400m from the wastewater treatment plant, with greater  differences
observed in the latter ring.


INDIVIDUAL ILLNESS INCIDENCE BY LOCATION AND SEASON

     Illness differences according to distance from the wastewater  treatment
plant were examined on a seasonal  basis during 1966-71.  As  shown in
table 8, significant variation in persons having two or more total  and  one
or more gastrointestinal illnesses between concentric ring dwelling
units radiating from the wastewater treatment plant was observed during the
warmer months.  Differences with respect to total  and gastrointestinal
illness were found significant at the 95% and 99% level of confidence,
respectively.  No significant differences in illness experience were observed
in the individuals living within concentric rings radiating  from the
control location.  Although the number of individuals observed in the
concentric ring within 600m of the wastewater treatment plant is low,
relative to the other rings,   the number of persons observed with  two  or
more total and respiratory or one or more gastrointestinal illnesses
exceeded the number expected by 20%, 27% and 50%, respectively, during  the
warmer months.  The number of individuals within the 2400m concentric ring
with observed illnesses exceeding those expected by 10%,  11% and 10% for
total, respiratory, and gastrointestinal illnesses, respectively.

     No significant differences were found, however, in the  colder  months
during 1966-1971  between the number of observed and expected individuals
having one or more illnesses, dwelling within concentric rings radiating
from either the wastewater treatment plant or control location.  As shown in
table 9, the number observed in these months did not exceed  those expected
for any illness category within the 600m wastewater treatment plant
concentric ring.   The number observed was, however, higher than the
number expected in the concentric ring having a 2400m boundary.

     The number of persons experiencing acute illness who were on report for
50 or more weeks during 1965-1971, differed significantly among the
concentric rings in which they dwelled.  The number of persons experiencing
four or more total, three or more respiratory, or one or more gastrointestinal
illnesses exceeded those expected in concentric rings with 1800 and 2400m
boundaries but not in the 600m circle  (see table 7).  That is, during the
entire study period, persons living closest to the wastewater treatment plant
did not experience more illness than expected for that population.

ILLNESS INCIDENCE SPECIFYING SOCIOECONOMIC FACTORS
     The distribution of the study population by education of household
head is shown in figure 4.  Data are available on 4877 of the 4889 study
participants.  A similar distribution for family income is illustrated in
figure 5.  There were fewer cooperative individuals for income disclosure,
with data available on 3627 of the study participants.  In general, persons
living in wastewater treatment plant 600m boundary concentric circle had
less education and lower incomes than in either the comparable control
group or other wastewater treatment plant rings.

     The education-and income-specific acute illness incidence in persons
dwelling at varying distances from the wastewater treatment plant and
control location was examined.  The numbers of individuals experiencing
four or more total, three or more respiratory^and one or more gastro-
intestinal illnesses within education-specific groups residing in WWTP
concentric rings are presented in table 10.  Occurrence of all three
illness classifications was significantly different between these circles
at the 99% level of confidence among families in the least educated group.
No differences, however, were found among intermediate and higher educated
families for any illness classification.  As shown in table 11,  no
significant education-specific illness differences were observed between
individuals dwelling at specified distances from the control  location.
Significant illness differences were, however, seen in both the WWTP and
control location concentric rings   when income was specified.  The most
significant differences were seen at the lowest income level  in  the WWTP
population for total and respiratory illnesses (table 12)  and in the
control group for all three illnesses in this low income group (table 13).
In addition,  differences in income-specific total  illness  incidence were
seen in the WWTP population with intermediate income.

     Education-specific illnesses during the warmer months showed
significant differences among the WWTP populations for total  and
gastrointestinal illnesses in the lowest educated group but no significant
differences were detectable at other education levels (table  14) nor at
any level in  the control population (table 15).   As seen in table 16,
significant differences in income-specific illnesses were  only observed
in the WWTP study population for total illnesses at the intermediate
income level.  Conversely, income-specific respiratory and gastrointestinal
illnesses were seen in the lowest income group in the control  population
(table 17) but not in other groups.

     As indicated in table 18, during November through April,  significant
differences were seen within the lowest educational group  for total and
gastrointestinal illness classifications.   During this same period,
significant education-specific illness differences, relative  to  dwelling
unit distance from the control  location, were only seen for gastrointestinal
illness, and  then only in the most educated group (table 19).   Income-
specific illnesses during the colder months showed significant differences
between WWTP  groups only at the low income level  for respiratory illnesses

(table 20).  In the population radiating from the control  location, income-
specific illness differences during this colder period were seen only for
gastrointestinal illnesses in the low and high income groups (table 21).

     Because of the additive characteristic of the information statistic,
summation of education-and income-specific illnesses by distance from the
wastewater treatment plant and control  location was performed.  Summations
over the entire study period are presented in tables 22 and 23 for
individuals dwelling within WWTP and control  location concentric rings.
Significant differences in the population surrounding the  WWTP were seen
for all  illness categories except income-specific gastrointestinal illnesses.
On the other hand, income-specific but not education-specific illness
differences were seen in the population surrounding the control  site.

     The summation of income-and education-specific illnesses during the
warmer months for both study groups is presented in table  24 and 25.  Income
and education-specific differences in total illnesses were seen  in
individuals residing in rings   radiating from the WWTP but not  in those
studied with respect to the control site.  Income-specific respiratory
illness occurrences were found to be significantly different only in the
WWTP study group.

     Tables 26 and 27 show the summation of income-and education-specific
illnesses during the colder months in both study groups.  Education-
specific differences in gastrointestinal illnesses were seen in  both the
WWTP and control location groups.  Income-specific differences in respiratory
illness occurrences were only seen in the WWTP group whereas income-specific
gastrointestinal illness occurrence differences were seen  only in the
control  site group.

     For illustrative purposes, the percent differences of the summed
income-and education-specific illnesses observed over the  number expected
by distance from the wastewater treatment plant and control location are
presented in tables 28 and 29.  For both income-and education-specific
illnesses, the number observed in the WWTP study population exceeded those
expected by the greatest amount in the 600m concentric circle during the
warmer months for respiratory and gastrointestinal illnesses.  Respiratory
illnesses exceeded those expected by 20% and 27% whereas gastrointestinal
illnesses exceeded those expected by 78% and 50% when specified  for income
and education, respectively.  Differences of this magnitude were not
observed during the colder months nor during the entire study period.

     Greater than the expected number of illnesses were consistently
observed within the 2400m WWTP concentric ring for all income-and education-
specific illnesses during the warmer and colder months as  well as during  the
entire study period.  Within the control location concentric rings,
greater than expected illness occurrences were most consistently observed at
the 1200m distance.  During both the warmer and colder months, the expected
number of income and education specific illnesses was exceeded in all
categories.  It is noteworthy that, in many cases, the dwelling units in-
cluded in the WWTP 2400m concentric ring were identical to those in the
1200m control ring.

ILLNESS INCIDENCE IN SCHOOL CHILDREN

     The illness experience of school children who were on report for 50 or
more weeks during 1965-1971 was examined with respect to school location
relative to the wastewater treatment plant or control location.  The
schools were not evenly distributed throughout the study area.  As shown
in table 30, most of the schools were contained in the 1800m or >3000m
concentric circle boundaries, with one school located within 1200m of
the wastewater treatment plant.  Eight of the eleven schools examined
shared the same WWTP and control location concentric ring.  The experience
of children having five or more total illnesses, four or more respiratory
illnesses, or two or more gastrointestinal illnesses is shown in table 31.
Significant differences in total illness experience were observed in the
school children with regard to school attended relative to both the waste-
water treatment plant and control location.  Since schools are not in
session during the summer months, no seasonal analyses were performed.

METEOROLOGY

     The wind direction, velocity, and atmospheric stability greatly
influence the dispersion of wastewater treatment plant airborne emissions
(Kenline,  1968).   Local data on these parameters were not available from
the Tecumseh area for the study years.  Wind velocity and direction
frequency distribution summaries were, however, obtained for the Detroit
Metropolitan Airport, located approximately 60 miles east of Tecumseh
for the years 1969-1973.  Although these data are not inclusive of the
study dates, they do indicate wind trends in the area over a four year
period.  Figure 6 is a wind rose presentation of these data.  Prevailing
winds of the highest velocity are from the west, but there is substantial
fluctuation in both direction and velocity.  Depending upon the atmospheric
stability, wastewater treatment emissions could be dispersed in any
direction.  Meteorological data by individual study period seasons or
years were not obtainable for this study.

                                  SECTION 6

                                 DISCUSSION
     The Tecumseh, Michigan wastewater treatment plant is small  relative to
those which serve larger metropolitan areas.   This plant was selected for
use in this investigation because of its location within a comprehensive
community health study area and because it was not considered to be
uniquely different from activated sludge plants serving comparably sized
communities.  Consequently, the observations  made in this study  should not
be considered unique to Tecumseh but to represent those made with the
participation of a highly cooperative community.

     Attribution of acute illness occurrence  within a population to a single
source, such as wastewater treatment plant aerosol emissions, is a difficult
problem compounded by many factors.   The exposure and potential  for infection
(EPI) probability of a population to the airborne emissions of a wastewater
treatment plant is dependent upon the concentration, survival, and
dispersion of aerosolized infectious organisms.  The concentrations of
potentially infectious organisms in the Tecumseh sewage during the study
period are not available.  Domestic sewage should, however, be assumed
to contain any material excreted by the contributing community which
survives transport to the wastewater treatment facility.  Potentially
pathogenic bacteria and viruses are among the organisms known to occur in
domestic wastewater (Kabler, 1959; Grabow, 1968).  Studies on the
airborne emissions of bacteria from wastewater treatment plants  have been
reviewed by Hickey and Reist (1975), but conclusive studies concerning
viral emissions from these plants have, however, been hampered by
limitations in methodology, although enteric  viruses have reportedly been
recovered from wastewater spray irrigation aerosols (Johnson et  at. 1977;
Teltsch and Katzenelson, 1978).  While the aerosols from the Tecumseh
plant were not characterized as part of this  study, it is reasonable to
assume that this plant does emit aerosols containing potentially
infectious organisms, as has been observed with the other activated
sludge plants studied.

     The significance of exposure to infectious aerosols is related to
the susceptibility, size, and density of the  population.  All persons
exposed will not develop infection and many infected individuals will not
develop disease.  With the enteroviruses, for example, the ratio of
infection to clinical illness is very high.  Such considerations make
it difficult to determine sources of infection and resulting illnesses
when they occur.  Such determinations require examination of a sufficiently
                                     50

-------
large population with subgroups sharing similar exposure probabilities.
In this study, acute illness occurrences in 4889 people, living at six
different general locations from a wastewater treatment plant and control
location were observed over a seven year period.

    More than  the expected number of persons living closest to the
wastewater treatment plant (within 600m) appeared to experience income-and
education-specific respiratory and gastrointestinal  illnesses during May
through October.  This experience was not found in the control groups nor
in those persons observed in WWTP concentric rings during the entire
study period or from November through April.  As seen in figures 4 and 5,
persons dwelling within 600m of the wastewater treatment plant had both
less education and lower incomes than those dwelling in either the
concentric rings at greater distances from the plant or in those
rings radiating from the control location.  The larger than expected
number of persons developing illnesses nearest the wastewater treatment
plant during the summer may be attributable to reduced levels of sanitation
within a lower socioeconomic group during a period of higher enterovirus
infection incidence.  Melnick et al.  (1954) demonstrated the seasonal
distribution of enteroviruses while Monto and Cavallaro (1971) confirmed
a higher late summer incidence of enteroviral infection in the Tecumseh
study population.

     Higher than expected illness occurrences were made during both seasons
and the entire study period in the least educated and lowest income
population dwelling within the wastewater treatment plant concentric
ring with 2400m boundary.  Since both income and education were
specified in this study, these observations cannot be explained on the
basis of socioeconomic factors.

     The WWTP population dwelling within the 2400m concentric ring
was found to have a consistently greater than expected incidence of all
education-and income-specific illnesses during the entire study period as
well as during the colder and warmer seasons.  Furthermore, the control
concentric ring showing the most consistent greater than expected
illness incidence is at the 1200m distance that partly overlaps the 2400m
WWTP ring.  The reasons for the greater illness incidence within this
group are not readily explainable with available evidence.  As shown in
figures 4 and 5, persons dwelling within the 2400m concentric ring had
both a slightly higher education and income than did comparison control
populations.  There are no known sources of exposure in these areas which
would increase the likelihood of increased acute illness.

     The dispersion of biological emissions from activated sludge treatment
plants has been estimated by various investigators (Kenline, 1968;
Buchan, 1972; and Lighthart and Frisch, 1973).  The models used for
predicting downwind concentrations of these emissions were based upon
Pasquill's model as described by Turner (1967).  The Tecumseh wastewater
treatment plant aerosol emissions may, however, behave differently than
might be predicted with previously employed models based upon the
                                     51

-------
theoretical diffusion equations.   The plant is located at a lower elevation
than the portions of the study area containing most of the population and
is surrounded on the east, south,  and west by deciduous trees.   Although
the activated sludge units were treated as zero height emission sources in
predictive models, local airflow disturbances as might occur in the
immediate vicinity of trees or other obstacles were not considered.
Pasquill (1962) indicated that present methods of estimating diffusion
are based upon idealized airflow conditions and that these methods
cannot be expected to give reliable information when there are  local
disturbances of this airflow.

     While the four year wind direction and velocity averages from the
Detroit Metropolitan Airport illustrated in figure 6 indicate general area
trends, the dispersion of emissions from the Tecumseh wastewater treatment
plant is probably more affected by local conditions.  Depending upon
wind direction, velocity, and atmospheric stability, surrounding trees
may act as a partial barrier for persons dwelling nearest the plant while
lofting the airflow, resulting in further downwind dispersion.

16. ABSTRACT
           Data obtained as part of  a  comprehensive community health  study conducted
      during 1965-1971 were utilized to  examine the incidence of acute  illness in a
      population surrounding an activated sludge wastewater treatment plant and a control
      location in Tecumseh, Michigan.  Study participants were classified into concentric
      circles of approximately 600m  each by dwelling unit distance from either site.
      School children were classified  by school attended in a similar manner.   The
      additive minimum discrimination  information statistic was used  to test for signi-
      ficant differences in the incidence of total, respiratory, and  gastrointestinal
      illnesses among individuals  dwelling within concentric circles.

           Differences in  illness  incidence occurred from May through October at varying
      distances from the wastewater  treatment plant and persons dwelling within 600m of
      this plant appeared  to have  a  greater than expected risk of respiratory and
      gastrointestinal illness.  The data do not, however, demonstrate  a causal effect
      and factors other than the wastewater treatment plant, such as  higher rates of
      illness transmission in areas  of higher densities of lower socioeconomic families,
      could have contributed to these  findings.
