People and environments at risk of legionella
Who and which environments are most at risk of legionella?
Since legionella is a bacterium found in water, the environments particularly at risk are
characterized by conditions of water stagnation, which allow the proliferation of bacteria: this occurs especially inside water systems, air conditioners and ventilation systems, swimming pools, water parks and the like.
The people most at risk are, first of all, people with a weak immune system, since legionella is a bacterial species. Other people at risk could be heavy smokers, people who abuse alcohol or with other ongoing pathologies.
Contact our analysis laboratory to carry out the risk assessment of legionella within your facilities: we are available throughout Italy and in Chiasso, Bellinzona, Locarno and Lugano.
How to protect your facilities
To protect facilities at risk of water stagnation and eliminate the proliferation of the legionella
bacteria, it is possible to adopt practices such as:
- Perform periodic and in-depth analyses to monitor the presence of the bacteria
- Perform rapid tests (24 hours thanks to the Real Time PCR analytical technique) in case rapid interventions are necessary
- Follow the guidelines and regulations regarding the management of the legionella bacteria.
