This 1997 Small Press Book Awards Finalist includes test questions to evaluate a facility in terms of Legionella risk, data on Legionnaires lawsuits, preventive measures for plumbing systems and cooling towers, guidance for water sampling, system disinfection, and outbreak investigations; screening questions to help in selecting laboratories, consultants, and equipment manufacturers; costs of equipment and procedures, and an extensive source directory of laboratories, consultants, and agencies. Here are excerpts of published reviews: This is an excellent reference book for any facility (healthcare or otherwise) that either is concerned about legionellae in its water systems or wants to establish a proactive program to reduce the risk of legionellae, C. Crouch, CSP, Professional Safety, The American Society of Safety Engineers. ...useful to hospital epidemiologists and infection control personnel...as well as to hospital management and engineering personnel, R. Muder, Inf. Cntrl. Hosp. Epid. Quite frankly, the approach and application of science in this text represents some of the best industrial (occupational) hygiene that I have ever seen in print! ...You wont be sorry, L. Betts, MD, PhD, CIH, Appl. Occup. Environ. Hyg. (ACGIH). The theme of the book is that of efficiency-how to minimize exposure and financial expenditure in a timely fashion. ...All plumbing engineers involved in hospital projects should have access to a copy of this book, T. Allinson, PE, ASPE Report, American Society of Plumbing Engineers. This book offers a practical, Action-based approach to one of the more insidious problems that a health care facility could ever face. ...With a usefulness that goesbeyond just health care facilities, the book is well worth reading. I recommend it, Z. Iqbal, Science Books
