Legionella contamination 'a distraction'

Levels of Legionella contamination at the Institute for Animal Health at Pirbright have been classed as “insignificant” and “so low that the HSE require no further action”, the IAH in england said tonight.

The research centre said the investigation into the suspected case of Legionella contamination had been a “regrettable distraction” for scientists testing for foot-and-mouth disease.
