Legionnaires’ disease is a potentially fatal form of
pneumonia caused by inhaling water mist or droplets
contaminated with Legionnaires’ disease bacteria (LDB).
LDB are widely present in natural water sources such as
lakes, streams, and ponds, but usually in low numbers.
The chance of getting Legionnaires’ disease from natural
water source is very slight, but the risk is increased when
the organism multiplies in water systems between 20° and
45°C. Water heaters, cooling towers, hot and cold water
systems, spa pools and stagnant water can provide ideal
conditions for the growth of the organism.
Employers and Landlords are required by law to carry out
a suitable and su昀케cient risk assessment of the potential
presence of LDB.
With this in mind, Brannan has developed a kit to help
assess the likelihood of the presence of LDB by measuring
the temperature of water in pipes and tanks forming part of
water systems.
