Jeana Watt taught maths at Coatbridge's Skills Academy which was built on a former industrial waste site
A teacher from Lanarkshire who lost her battle with brain cancer believed her illness was caused by blue water and toxic chemicals at her school.
The Scottish Government commissioned an independent review in 2019 which found no link to ill health and the complex was reopened to staff and pupils that August. "She wanted another completely independent review into the school’s grounds and water to be carried out. "There needs to be more testing done over a longer period of time. If I’m wrong then I’m fine with that. It just means all we’ve done is prove beyond a doubt that the building is safe because as it stands there are still doubts and questions.”Jeana passed away surrounded by her family and friends two months after a CT scan showed that the tumour was growing and advancing.
“She died at home surrounded by everyone she loved. The last thing I said to her was that I loved her and that she didn’t need to worry anymore. While Jeana was dying she was on sick pay from North Lanarkshire Council and then we received a letter to say she hadn’t been at work so they were dismissing her.
A Scottish Government spokesperson said: “Our deepest sympathies are with the Watt family for their loss. An independent review into the health and safety concerns at St Ambrose and Buchanan High Schools was carried out in summer 2019.
