Legionnaires’ Disease

Abstract

Discusses the factors which affect how quickly Legionella bacteria grow: water throughput, water temperature, and chemical water treatments. Examines management criteria for control of these factors – training, water quality testing, record keeping and maintenance – as well as inspection procedures for cooling systems. Concludes that control of microbiological water quality depends on knowledge of building and systems as well as clear procedures and records.
