What are the Common Water Contaminants in Healthcare Facilities?
Common water contaminants in healthcare facilities include bacteria (e.g., Legionella, Pseudomonas), viruses (e.g., Norovirus, Hepatitis A), protozoa (e.g., Giardia, Cryptosporidium), and chemical contaminants (e.g., heavy metals, pharmaceuticals). These contaminants can enter the water supply through various means, including broken pipes, contaminated reservoirs, and inadequate water treatment processes.
