Hospitals are vital for looking after our health, but they must also guard against Legionella bacteria, which can cause serious illness.
Making sure water systems in hospitals are clean and safe is key to stopping this bacteria from spreading and keeping everyone protected.
The Threat of Legionella in Hospitals
Legionella bacteria thrive in water systems, finding hospitable environments within hospital pipes, taps, and cooling towers. The complexity of hospital water systems, coupled with the compromised immune system of many patients, accentuates the need for an effective water treatment solution.
Chlorine Dioxide: A Proven Disinfectant
Chlorine Dioxide (ClO2) has emerged as a pivotal tool in the fight against Legionella within hospital settings. As a potent disinfectant, it boasts a broad-spectrum efficacy that eliminates the bacteria without the formation of harmful by-products.
Advantages of Chlorine Dioxide Over Traditional Methods
Unlike traditional chlorination, Chlorine Dioxide remains effective in varying pH levels and temperatures and does not react with organic compounds to form trihalomethanes (THMs), which are harmful when inhaled or ingested. This is particularly crucial in hospitals where safety and compliance with health regulations are paramount.
