Instal·lacions de baix risc de proliferació i dispersió de legionel·la: anàlisi de circuits i eines de control [part 1]
Abstract
Legionellosis is an environmental disease caused by a bacteria called Legionella. This bacteria lives in water and can colonize and grow in facilities that use water and are susceptible to generating aerosols if the hygienic-sanitary conditions are not adequate. These facilities could be the cause of epidemic outbreaks of legionellosis or isolated cases. Low risk facilities (IBR), such as sprinkler irrigation systems, ornamental fountains, street cleaning equipment, food and terrace misters, etc., can be the cause of community outbreaks if appropriate measures are not taken. appropriate preventive control measures. The health inspection, control and monitoring of these facilities corresponds to the town councils. Despite the extensive information that exists on the subject, we detected that we lack a technical definition in this type of facilities, which generates confusion when determining what parameters should be required when evaluating and inspecting these facilities. . Therefore, we decided that, to facilitate the inspection work for both municipal and DIBA technicians and those of ASPCAT in cases where inspections of low-risk facilities are carried out to investigate community outbreaks of legionellosis, it was necessary to put in place This community of practice (CoP) was launched in order to define and agree on what the reference parameters should be and the minimum review and maintenance periodicities to which the different types of facilities should be subject.
