Legionella
Legionnaires' Disease remains a public health threat. Every year there are many outbreaks that occur not only in the U.S., but worldwide since the disease was first identified in 1976. Legionella, the bacteria which cause the disease, are commonly found in domestic water supplies in low concentrations.

Arc has been a leader in Legionella Testing since 1984. Our nationally respected Legionella Testing Program provides timely, accurate results using state-of-the-art laboratory equipment and expertise. Arc receives water samples from all parts of the U.S. and Canada and we will provide the necessary materials, sample bottles, and instructions for you to obtain samples for analysis.

Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) indoor quality guidelines state: "Maintenance of a cooling tower ensures proper operation and keeps the cooling tower from becoming a niche for breeding pathogenic bacteria, such as Legionella...cooling tower water must be properly monitored..."

Arc's Legionella Testing Program offers quantitative water sampling testing, eradication procedures and treatment services for all potential sources...cooling towers, humidifiers, evaporative condensers, shower heads, hot water heaters, water fountains and plumbing fixtures.
