In February, Ann Arbor, Michigan-based NSF International announced it will host Legionella Conference 2018 — Managing Legionella and Other Pathogens in Building Water Systems. The event will be May 9-11 in Baltimore, Maryland.
Conference attendees will discuss and learn the latest monitoring, treatment and management approaches for preventing the spread of Legionella in buildings, hospitals and cooling towers. The three-day event is sponsored by the National Science Foundation and, according to NSF, is the first time experts from the industry, academia, public health, medicine and government will meet to discuss Legionella and other pathogens found in water-distribution systems.
