Abstrak

Predicting <i>Legionella</i> concentrations reaching users through building water systems requires a comprehensive water quality modeling approach. We integrate various frameworks and data to test the effect of nutrient availability, temperature, chlorine, and biofilm interactions in modeling <i>Legionella</i>. We show that neglecting biofilm detachment underestimates concentrations up to 5.5 logs, while including it increases estimates by 4.2 logs. This study identifies critical factors and uncertainty sources for characterizing the <i>Legionella</i> fate and transport phenomena within buildings.
