Information on health risks associated with air conditioning
Air handling units within buildings may be linked to air conditioning systems.
Some air conditioning systems e.g. those which use evaporative cooling, may pose potential health risks if not properly maintained. Therefore make sure your air handling units are serviced at appropriate intervals, and follow the instructions by the supplier or manufacturer.
Many large factories and office blocks have cooling towers associated with their air conditioning units. As there is a risk of spreading legionnaires disease from these units, legally, they must be registered with the local authority. For more information on cooling towers see cooling tower notifications
