INTRODUCTION
My name is Murray Thompson. I am the author of this statement, a (former) resident
of Bligh Park, Sydney, and a (now) part-time PhD student at the University of Western
Sydney Hawkesbury. As I am going to make some statements regarding human
health in relation to air pollution at McGraths Hill, I should provide an outline of my
general experience and qualifications. This can be found in the endnotesi.
DISCUSSION
COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE AIR POLLUTION ISSUE AT McGRATHS
HILL FALL INTO 2 BROAD CATEGORIES:
1. AIR POLLUTION AFFECTING THE BREATHING, EYESIGHT AND SKIN OF LOCAL
RESIDENTS.
2. AIR POLLUTION INTERRUPTING THE NORMAL SLEEP PATTERNS OF LOCAL
RESIDENTS, DIMINISHING THE ENJOYMENT OF OUTSIDE ACTIVITIES, AND NEGATIVELY
IMPACTING ON CHILDREN STUDYING AT WINDSOR HIGH SCHOOL.

31. AIR POLLUTION IMPACTS: TOXICOLOGICAL OUTCOMES.
The composting of mushrooms releases large quantities of moisture and the gas
ammonia. It is this gas that is associated with the unpleasant odor (Ministry of
Agriculture and Food 1998:html document).
There is ample published material available that clearly describes the toxic potential of
organic dusts, ammonia and methane in regard to human health. As well, there is also
much research regarding the dangers of some gases on test animals, however this data
is so disturbing that it should be considered cause for concern in relation to potential
impacts on humans, especially the unborn and children. See Table 1 below for details.
I have included some of the original sources of information for the occasional Internet
reference used below in the Table in order to describe more clearly the broad studies
that have been accessed for this study.

Irritant to eyes, nose, throat and skin (Rowland & Cooper 1983:169-
177). Ammonia is an eye irritant at levels greater than 20 to 25 ppm.
Exposure to levels around 1,500 ppm will induce coughing and frothing at the
mouth and levels of 5,000 ppm are deadly. Ammonias distinct odor can be
detected by humans in concentrations as small as 5 ppm. 25 ppm isrecommended frequently as a maximum acceptable level for ammonia
concentrations. Burning eyes indicate that ammonia levels are at least 20 ppm
(Lorimor, J., Schwab, C.V. & Miller, L. 1993:1-2). Field experience with workers
exposed to blueprinting and copying machine ammonia sources indicates a
maximum acceptable concentration of 20-25 ppm without severe complaints
(Toxicology Data Network 2001:html document)1.
More specifically, high concentrations of ammonia vapors cause
conjunctivitis, laryngitis, pulmonary edema or pneumonitis, plus the
sensation of suffocation. High vapor concentrations may lead to
temporary blindness and even severe eye damage. Also, diffuse
corneal damage and cataract formation has been noted in instances
where 2 victims eyes were sprayed with ammonia2. Extensive systemic
absorption of ammonia may induce hypertonus, convulsions and coma.
Encephalopathy (which can result in neuropathological damage

[Alzeimer Type II Astrocyosis]) is associated with hyperammonemia (see
below for definition in blue font) which is measured by elevated serum
ammonia levels (ibid). Although this example of serum ammonia is
related to hyperalimentation or overfeeding, I believe that all the other
data below leaves open the distinct possibility that hyperammonemia,
along with many other disease symptoms and aggravated conditions,
could arise from the continuous inhalation of high concentrations of
ammonia vapors. In support of this, occupational medical
recommendations include that, for any employee exposed to
potentially hazardous levels of ammonia, a complete physical
examination and medical history be undertaken in order to determine if
there are any existing conditions making the employee more
susceptible to damage. As well, it has been stated that inhalation of
ammonia leading to increased circulating ammonia puts an individual
with compromised liver function at risk of hepatic coma3. In other
words, a typical route of entry for ammonia is via inhalation (as well as
ingestion, skin and eye contact). Therefore those individuals with
existing conditions, such as corneal disease, glaucoma or chronic
respiratory diseases may be at increased risk (ibid)4.
Further, ammonia toxicity has been linked directly to residual chronic
bronchitis, tracheitis, bronchopneumonia, pulmonary edema, kidney
congestions and early hemorrhagic nephritis (ibid).
Hyperammonemia or ammoniemia means the presence of ammonia or
similar compounds in the blood. The symptoms of this condition are:
weak pulse, subnormal temperature, gastroenteric conditions, and
coma(Aviado 1976:54).
In pregnant does, exposure to high levels of ammonia resulted in
postparturient maternal aggression (Gad, et al 2001:html document).
Elevated blood ammonia concentrations (even in human patients without
acute liver failure [ALF] who experience idiopathic hyperammonemia) may be
indicative of impending cerebral herniation (CH) in humans (Conn, H.O.
2001:html document). This is supported by Clemmesen, et al (2001:html
document) who note that in patients with ALF high arterial ammonia
concentrations (from the reduction of ammonia processing by the liver) are
associated with increased cerebral ammonia uptake and CH.

Idiopathic means a disease of unknown cause (Stone 1976:689). In this
public health issue idiopathic hyperammonemia might be sourced from
high ammonia concentrations in the air, especially given the statement
above in bolded text.
Hyperammonemia may produce cognitive disturbances in rats. Pre and
neonatal hyperammonemia slowed learning and impaired memory.
Postnatal hyperammonemia also impaired other learning tasks in rats
(Aguilar, Mi~narro & Felipo 2001:html document). In rats, spatial
learning is impaired after prenatal exposure to ammonia. As well,
children with innate or inborn urea cycle enzyme errors suffer mental
modifications proportional to the extent of hyperammonemia (Mu~noz,
et al 2001:html document). Since high arterial ammonia concentrations
have been linked with profound impacts on human health (cerebral
herniation), then it is not unreasonable to query the possibility of
learning disorders in children either.
SUBSTANCE DETAILS & EFFECTS
Dust
Organic dust
Can lead to Extrinsic Allergic Alveolitisinvolving persistent episodes
offever, chills, dry cough and dyspnea. The chronic form of this disease
may lead to honeycombing (Medical College of Wisconsin 2001:html
document).
Honeycomb lung can involve sarcoidosis, a systemic granulomatous
fibrosis of the lungs that can also involve the lymph nodes, skin, liver,
spleen, eyes (Freedman 1976:1252) and other organs. It can also
involvepneumoconiosis, which is inflammation and fibrosis of the
lungs, with symptoms of chest pain, cough, little or no expectoration,
sometimes cyanosis (bluish or purplish skin and mucous membrane
color), and fatigue after exertion (ibid:346,1109).
Dyspnea registers as shortness of breath, distress in breathing, and
rapid breathing, usually associated with serious disease of the heart or
lungs (ibid:434).
Mushroom workers lung is a type ofextrinsic allergic alveolitis and is
sourced from mushroom compost (Medical College of Wisconsin
2001:html document).

2. AIR POLLUTION IMPACTS: BREATHING, SLEEP, RECREATION AND STUDY
STRESS, PSYCHOSOMATIC DYNAMICS AND DISEASE.
Residents have complained consistently over the years of the odor of the compost
waking them at night. As well, outside recreational activities are often disturbed by
the sharp and singularly unpleasant odor of the material. While families living around
the facility are continuously stressed by this public health situation inside their own
homes, yards and surrounding community areas, children at the Windsor High School
have the added problem of the odor interrupting their studies. All these instances,
impacting as they do so thoroughly on the total lives of so many people, provide the
opportunity for stress-induced dynamics to play a significant if not major role in the
diminishment of the quality of life and real health of the McGraths Hill community.
Where breathing, sleep patterns, recreational potential and high school study are
negatively impacted by odors, serious psychosomatic and physiological consequences
are inevitable. Human health (including the development of intellectual potential via
high school) cannot be optimized in an environment where air quality imposes
restraints on correct respiratory function, proper rest, the essential requirement of
revitalizing recreational activities, and school studies.
Apart from the toxicological impacts of the gases and dusts produced by the compost
materials, any form of minimized, shallow or labored breathing will decrease the
oxygenation of the blood, leading to lower energy levels and even an increased
predisposition toward the development of cancer. This is because cancer favors a
deoxygenated physiological state, while increased fatigue leads to a compromised
immune function, which again favors cancer.

7As well, sleep deprivation leaves affected subjects with significantly reduced physical
and emotional resources. Disturbed sleep leads to a diminished ability to function
effectively, both physically and emotionally. This is why sleep deprivation is used as a
form of torture in warfare and espionage activities. As well, this tool is used, often,
within religious cults in order to make victims more suggestible and compliant.
Specifically, tiredness makes the use of any equipment, be it a power tool or a motor
vehicle, more hazardous. Therefore, what might have been otherwise a relatively
harmless activity, such as home renovations or driving, becomes an extremely
hazardous activity, one in which a single error of judgment, due to diminished mental
acuity and physical coordination, can lead to serious injury or death.
The general reason for tiredness, decreased attention span, reduced coordination,
diminished reflexes, and other less specific symptoms is the toxemia that accompanies
interrupted sleep and decreased recreational outlets involving physical activity and
associated deeper breathing. All individuals, subject to modest variations in their
personal physiology, require uninterrupted sleep and physical exercise, both
accompanied by proper respiration, in order for the liver to continuously and efficiently
cleanse the body of toxins that accumulate, especially during the active hours.
Health impacts on local residents therefore take on 2 major perspectives:
a/ Toxemia, which is a major precursor of degenerative disease. I especially note this
in terms of residents who are elderly. Any significant interruption to sleep patterns by
the compost odors will necessarily promote the morbidity of any existing medical
condition, because stress can leave the body unprotected (Davis 1976:107). Also,
disturbed sleep favors the appearance of genetically predisposed conditions, even in
the young, since toxins weaken the human immune system, as well as accumulate
within organs to levels where permanent damage can eventuate.
b/ It is also now well known that unresolved frustration, anger and tension inflates the
heart rate, increases adrenal and cortisone activity (and therefore the potential for
adrenal exhaustion), and increases muscle tone (and therefore the potential for muscle
pain and fatigue), all via the autonomous nervous system (Vayda 1991:47-48). This isoften referred to as TheFight or Flight Reaction. As well, other symptoms and
disorders are strongly associated with distress and anger (I note this because
frustration and anger are dominant emotions expressed by residents near the source
of the compost odors). Some of these more long-term disorders are:
chronic indigestion; gastrogenic diarrhea; dilated stomach, false palpitations, difficulty in breathing, dizziness and fainting;
paroxysmal tachycardia (heart racing);

8 peptic ulcers; gall-stone colic; false pancreatic deficiency; habitual constipation;
spasticity in the latter half of the colon and consequent gas retention; urinary bladder inflammation; acute and chronic diarrhea; ulcerative colitis; high blood pressure; arteriosclerosis; cerebral vascular accidents; over-active thyroid; diabetes; lumbago; rheumatism; gout (Simeons 1960).This understanding has been around for decades (and in the case of the Chinese,
millennia). These are the classic psychosomatic responses to emotional distress.
CONCLUSION
I therefore conclude here that air pollution from the mushroom compost is a major
public health issue in the McGraths Hill area and adjacent communities from both
toxicological and psychosomatic perspectives.
As an Environmental Health professional, I must recommend that the composting
industry recognize its broader Public Health responsibilities and its Duty of Care
regarding the community in which it is situated. The compost facilities should be
professionally and extensively sealed and maintained thus, even in hot weather.
If these remedies are not possible, then the industry must be relocated to a more
isolated area.

ENDNOTES
i I should preface my statement with the following. I possess qualifications in the broad discipline of
Environmental Health. This works well in regard to this issue because, very often, non-specific acute and
chronic symptoms relating to negative environmental impacts are characteristically treated with ignorance
and often disdain by a medical profession more comfortable with a classical diagnoses of health
complaints. Within the discipline of Environmental Health however, we learn to appreciate a much broader
range and potential of threats to human health. My diverse studies over the past 25 years have served to
make the association between generally unrecognized (or minimized) impacts and non-specific (though
real) health dilemmas more recognizable and understandable.
I have broad-ranging experience in Human Health studies over the last 25 years. These include:
1. Personal study in cancer and other degenerative disease conditions, 1979 to present, including
associated studies in Diet & Nutrition, Toxicology, Proteolytic Enzyme and Vitamin treatment, Herbal
Medicinal Properties, Detoxification and Psychosomatic Medicine.
2. One year full-time study in Traditional Chinese Medicine (Brisbane College of Traditional Acupuncture in
Kelvin Grove, Brisbane), 1980-1981.
3. Private study under Brian Liu, Traditional Acupuncturist (at his Concord clinic and in his class at the
Burwood Evening College), 1986-1988.
