Presented by Phil Roach

Legionella is a naturally grown bacteria that occurs in warm freshwater with the common sources being in cooling towers and potable water systems. The number of cases in the US of Legionnaires disease continues to rise year after year with about 10,000 cases of Legionnaires disease being reported to the CDC in 2018. Most recently, Portland experienced an outbreak where 5 people were hospitalized including 1 who died in 2021.

In this presentation, we’ll cover legionella itself, other water borne pathogens, and how a person could contract legionella. In addition, relevant standards involved with legionella control along with some of the methods being used to control it will be shared.
