En prenant l'exemple de la légionellose, ce travail pose les bases d'une démarche d'évaluation quantitative du risque infectieux bactérien par inhalation. Deux scenarii ont été étudiés : l'exposition à l'occasion d'une douche et lors d'une activité à l'extérieur à proximité d'une tour aéroréfrigérante. Des facteurs de sensibilité des sujets à la légionellose tels que le sexe, l'âge et le tabagisme ont été pris en compte. Une relation dose-effet, établie à partir d'une étude réalisée chez l'animal, a été retenue pour la caractérisation des dangers. La quantification du risque a été menée par une approche probabiliste utilisant la méthode de simulation de Monte Carlo. Les résultats obtenus montrent qu'un risque annuel de 10[exposant -5 ]corre...
