Author Description

The aim of this policy overview report is to present the regulatory framework in the European Union and in selected non-EU countries on Legionella spp. and Legionnaires' disease, along with other normative documents related to the practical application of this legislation (e.g. standards, guidelines, guidance, codes, etc.). Therefore, the main idea is to determine how legislation is translated into policy and what kind of events (e.g. outbreaks on a local level) or decisions (e.g. directives on European level) have influenced the current policy for protection of both the general population and workers.
