Everyone knows the famous saying “still water runs deep”. You will be surprised to know that still water harnesses some of the most pathogenic bacteria\u2019s which can cause an array of diseases. One such type of dwelling bacteria is Legionella!<\/p>\n
Legionella, the bacterium that causes Legionnaires\u2019 disease, occurs naturally in freshwater environments, like lakes and streams. Generally the low amounts of these bacteria in freshwater do not lead to disease. However, Legionella can pose a health risk when it gets into building water systems. To do this, Legionella first has to grow (increase in numbers). Then it has to spread through small water droplets (aerosolization) that people can breathe in. You can take steps to reduce the risk for Legionella in your building.<\/p>\n
