Keeping schools safe from LegioneLla.
The danger of Legionella
Students and teachers wash their hands, drink water and in some schools take showers in school buildings. Measuring and maintaining water quality is a crucial job for schools and their building managers.
Legionella bacteria are one of the potential contaminants found in school water systems. Legionella bacteria live naturally in fresh water, but when they proliferate in a building's water system, these bacteria can cause illness. Exposure to these bacteria can cause Legionnaires' disease and Pontiac fever.
Ensure the safety of your school against Legionella.
