In this article we review the rare but serious lung condition known as Legionnaires’ disease looking at its diagnosis, treatment and consider whether it is preventable.
We start by reviewing typical symptoms and what’s involved in diagnosing the condition, how it can be treated and conclude with measures that can be put into place to control the risks to people, including the management of water safety in engineered water systems.

The following presentation takes a look at Legionnaires’ disease in the UK from a health and safety perspective dating back to 1991. It considers Legionella bacteria and where it is commonly found, how Legionella infection occurs, legionellosis, Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks and common sources of contamination including hot and cold water services and cooling towers.
The following presentation examines Legionella testing and water sampling of spas and fountains during Legionnaires’ disease outbreaks in the USA. The presentation looks at Legionella water sampling of spas, decorative fountains, sprinkler systems, eye wash safety stations, humidifiers and respiratory care equipment; together with the measurement of other water quality parameters. The video featured in this presentation is one by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) that gives an introduction to environmental health and engineering measures for Legionnaires’ disease outbreak investigations in the USA.
