Hotels and Commercial Buildings
Legionella is the most serious indoor building contaminant. Recent data show Legionella, the causative agent of Legionnaires’ disease, contaminates 70% of all plumbing systems. |
Hospitals and Long-term Care Facilities
The warm water distribution system of a healthcare facility is the primary source of Legionella exposure for hospitalized patients. A variety of factors determine whether Legionnaires’ disease is likely to occur, including extent of contamination, patient population and water system characteristics. |
