What is Legionella and why is its control important?
Legionella is a bacteria that can proliferate in hot and cold water systems in buildings or other systems that require water to function, causing legionellosis, a serious respiratory disease, which can occur sporadically or in the form of epidemic outbreaks that can affect groups of people in the community.
If the facility has a system that produces aerosols, water droplets containing the bacteria can be inhaled and cause legionellosis in specific risk groups.
