What Is Legionella?
Legionella is a type of bacteria commonly found in freshwater environments, but it can become a health threat when it grows in man-made water systems such as cooling towers, hot tubs, plumbing systems, and decorative fountains. Inhalation of water droplets containing Legionella can cause Legionnaires’ disease—a severe and sometimes fatal form of pneumonia.
