Reopening Facilities Face the Real Risk of Legionnaires' Disease
Legionella, the bacteria causing Legionnaires' disease, is flourishing within the stagnant water systems of under-utilized facilities. If your facility has reduced the use of bathrooms, drinking fountains, and plumbing, returning occupants will face an increased risk of exposure to Legionella.
Criterion’s services include sample collection and/or laboratory analysis.
Criterion’s Legionella testing services will determine if your facility’s water system is a Legionnaires’ outbreak waiting to happen.
Criterion is a CDC ELITE laboratory for Legionella testing and is accredited for Environmental Microbiology by the AIHA Laboratory Accreditation Program
Criterion also offers expedited analysis using Legiolert and 24-hour qPCR methods.
