Kartlaeggning av foerekomsten av Legionella i svenska vattensystem. (Survey of incidence of Legionella in Swedish water supply systems)

R. Szewzyk / T. A. Stenstroem

The object of this project was to chart the incidence of Legionella in water supply systems and indoor installations in 13 selected Swedish municipalities and to relate this incidence to the type of raw water, water treatment, the chemical composition of water, the material in pipes and fittings, temperature, and the type and construction of water heaters. About 1,000 samples were taken and analysed. Legionella pneumophila was found in 15% of the samples. In cold water the frequency of positive tests was lower (4%) than in hot water (25%), and the same applied to the Legionella counts. (author) tabs., figs., 132 refs
