Legionella Sampling & Testing: Public & Private Schools
Young children, attending primary and nursery schools, are vulnerable to respiratory conditions affecting the lungs, with illnesses spreading very easily amonst classmates. With their immune systems weakened, those with asthma and broncial conditions are at the highest risk of contracting Legionnaires’ Disease if exposed to the legionella bacterium. Older schools, due to aging pipework, can provide for an optimal breeding gound for legionella, and our schools have a responsibility to their children to maintain a clean water system free from the legionella bacterium.
Larger colleges and universities, with a diverse student body and large teaching and administrative staffs, are also responsible for mainiting clean water systems and protecting their building occupants.
