Field tests for minimizing Legionella in cooling water in Japan.

Author(s) : WATANABE K.

Summary

To minimize Legionella, various tools and methods involving chemicals, ultraviolet rays, etc, have been proposed and are being utilized. Field tests were conducted at 17 sites inhabited by Legionella. As a result, the effectiveness of four anti-Legionella chemicals was ascertained. The effect of ultraviolet irradiation was limited. Other physical methods and common agents showed moderate effectiveness. General aspects of cooling water management were also clarified. These results can be directly applied by building management staff in practical operations.
