What is Legionnaires’ Disease?
Legionnaires’ disease is caused by legionella bacteria infecting your lungs. Low, harmless quantities of the bacteria are usually found in water such as lakes, ponds and rivers. The problems arise if the bacteria multiply and find their way into artificial water supplies. The classic case being air conditioning systems. However, it has been found in showers, sprinkler systems and spas.
Cases of Legionnaires’ disease are most often reported in large buildings. These include hotels, hospitals and office blocks. Legionella bacteria can spread easily through a combination of a water temperature of between 20-45C and impurities in the water. Water impurities include rust, algae or limescale.
