Contamination of industrial cooling towers has been identified as the cause of sporadic cases and outbreaks of legionellosis. The epidemiological data showed as the risk of Legionella infection coming from cooling tower is underestimated. The aim of the study was to assess the effectiveness of different disinfection treatments on Legionella colonization, performed within an industrial Cooling Tower System (CTS) starting from opening to closing season. Materials/Methods: Cold water samples were collected monthly from May to October 2016, during an environmental monitoring of industrial CTS nearby Bologna, Italy. Legionella culture was carried out according to ISO11731-1998. Two disinfection treatments were subsequently performed in relati...
