Description
Legionella is a bacterium everyone should be aware of. It is ubiquitous in freshwater environments and buildings and may cause disease when it is aerosolized and inhaled, especially among vulnerable populations. It thrives in warm and especially stagnant water. The good news is that you can control it through active water management. Take this course to learn about legionella characteristics, where it thrives, and how to make your water system less hospitable to it. This course is ideal for facility and property managers and owners.
