LEGIONELLA: ENGINEERING CONTROL MEASURES.

Author(s) : BROADBENT C.

Summary

ALTHOUGH ONE STILL DOES NOT UNDERSTAND COMPLETELY THE MICROBIOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE LEGIONELLA BACTERIUM, IT IS ESTABLISHED THAT OPEN WARM-WATER SYSTEMS ARE FAVOURABLE TO ITS ESTABLISHMENT AND PROLIFERATION. THE MOST EFFICIENT CONTROL STRATEGY IS THE EQUIPMENT HYGIENE. IT IS ESSENTIAL TO TAKE THE MECHANICAL CONSTRUCTION INTO ACCOUNT, IN ORDER TO REDUCE TO A MINIMUM THE ORIGIN AND DEVELOPMENT OF CONTAMINATION WHICH MAY BE DUE, FOR INSTANCE, TO THE PROXIMITY OF COOLING TOWERS WITH AIR TERMINAL DEVICES IN THE BUILDING.
