Puzzled by Potable Water Biofilms as a Reservoir of Opportunistic Pathogens?

PUZZLED BY LEGIONELLA IN COMMERCIAL PROPERTIES? April 27, 2022

Today’s water systems are made from a variety of piping materials that impact water quality. The type of piping material has a direct influence on the risk of microbial contamination inside your water system. Specific materials have different tolerances to high heat, chlorine and other biocides used in Legionella control. Join us and explore the variety of piping materials and their susceptibility to Legionella and Legionella risks.

PUZZLED BY LEGIONELLA AND WATERBORNE PATHOGENS ON ICE? MAY 12

Dr. Prevost will first present the results of several recommissioning case studies showing that not all buildings are contaminated with Legionella after extended stagnation and that other OPPs should be considered. Then she will show findings from a detailed intervention study to measure the impact of dally, weekly and monthly flushing and shook chlorination on the prevalence and concentrations on Legionella pneumophilia in a heavily contaminated large building.
