Introducing: Our “Environmental Microbiology and Water Hygiene” department

We are pleased to introduce the new head of department, Dr. Nicole Knabe. The department will, of course, continue to be your competent point of contact for microbiological examinations of water-bearing technical systems and drinking water hygiene.
In particular, the focus is on preventive examinations for the presence of legionella in central drinking water heating and distribution systems in public and commercial facilities.
We support you in implementing the requirements that apply under laws, ordinances and generally accepted rules of technology. Examples of this are the Infection Protection Act (IfSG), the Drinking Water Ordinance (TrinkwV), the DVGW worksheets, the VDI regulations, the UBA recommendations and the LANUV worksheets.
Both in the case of a telephone consultation and an on-site inspection, the scope of the investigation is determined with the sampling and analysis for the respective water-bearing technical system. Based on the knowledge gained, the analysis results and our many years of experience, we can assess risks, determine the need for action and suggest measures.
If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact Dr. Knabe, the head of the department, or her team. You are welcome to call her on 0209-9242-203 or email her at wasser-legio@hyg.de.
