Legionella Testing to L8 Standards

Legionella is a type of bacteria that can be found in natural water sources such as lakes, rivers and reservoirs, where they tend to occur in relatively low numbers. However, Legionella can also be found in manmade, purpose-built water systems, which if left undetected can grow to dangerous levels. Tiny particles of contaminated water if aerosolised, can be inhaled into the lungs and cause Legionnaires disease.

Legionella are negative bacteria that have over 40 individual species. Most human infections are caused by Legionella pneumophila.
There are two types of health impacts on humans-Pontiac fever which is flu-like and the more dangerous Legionnaires disease which can be fatal.
The bacteria can be found in both potable and nonpotable watersystems. Our technical water systems provide ideal growth conditions for these bacteria.
