Lanarkshire teacher given 18 months to live blames 'toxic chemicals' found at school

A teacher battling a terminal brain tumour believes her illness was caused by toxic chemicals found at the school she worked at in North Lanarkshire.

Jeana Watt, 48, who taught maths at the Skills Academy in Coatbridge, was given 18 months to live in June last year when she was diagnosed with Glioblastoma - a fast growing form of cancer.

The school, which is built on an old industrial waste site, shares a campus with Buchanan and St Ambrose high schools, where blue water was previously discovered running from the taps. Staff and pupils claim to have contracted serious illnesses as a result, the Sunday Mail reports.
