We recommend regular inspections in places related to water, such as bathtubs.
Legionnaires' disease is an infectious disease caused by bacteria of the genus Legionella. It is triggered by inhaling water or aerosols (mist-like water) contaminated with Legionella bacteria. In Japan, deaths due to Legionnaires' disease occur every year, and preventive management through testing, as well as the development of equipment and products that do not promote the growth of Legionella bacteria, is required. *Places and products that require caution regarding Legionella contamination: ◎ Locations and facilities - Public baths, hot spring facilities (inns, hotels, recreational facilities) - Work environments with high humidity and equipment that causes water to evaporate (factories, restaurants, etc.) ◎ Products - Recirculating bathtubs (hot springs, pools, aquariums, septic tanks) - Cooling towers in air conditioning cooling water - Air conditioners with humidification functions, ultrasonic humidifiers - Shower nozzles and heads, faucets - Car air filters Our company not only conducts tests for Legionella bacteria but also offers preventive consulting through hygiene inspections of bathing facilities and product development contracts based on sterilization efficacy tests for Legionella bacteria.
