EMSL Analytical provides professional Legionella testing services in Toronto and throughout Ontario for building owners, property managers, healthcare facilities, environmental consultants, industrial hygiene professionals, hotels, commercial properties, institutions, and other organizations concerned about Legionella contamination in water systems.
Legionella bacteria can grow in building water systems under favorable conditions and may become aerosolized through showers, faucets, cooling towers, decorative fountains, hot tubs, humidifiers, and other water-containing equipment. Exposure to contaminated aerosols may lead to Legionnaires' disease, a potentially serious form of pneumonia.
Testing water systems for Legionella can play an important role in evaluating building water quality, investigating potential contamination, supporting water management programs, and identifying conditions that may require corrective action.
