1. Why Secondary Disinfection Matters
Secondary disinfection acts as a final line of defense against potentially harmful microorganisms that can grow within pipes and plumbing systems. This includes:
A. Legionella: This bacteria can cause Legionnaires' disease, a serious form of pneumonia.
B. Other Waterborne Pathogens: Secondary disinfection helps mitigate risks associated with various waterborne pathogens.

Chemtex’s ASSE 12080 Certified Expertise.
When the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) adopted the ASSE 12080 certification, it was a pivotal response to the rising threat of Legionella outbreaks.
Water safety is non-negotiable, especially for vulnerable groups: those over 50, smokers, individuals with chronic lung disease, weakened immune systems, cancer, underlying illnesses like diabetes, or recovering from surgery. Biofilms in water systems—harboring bacteria in fountains, showerheads, sprinklers, and pipes—release aerosolized pathogens, amplifying risks in stagnant or intermittently used water. In today’s world, where aerosolized pathogens fuel global health concerns, certified expertise is more critical than ever.
Building on the ASHRAE 188-2018 standard from 2015, this certification establishes rigorous qualifications for professionals tasked with water safety and management. With Legionella cases surging since 2000—contributing to the 7.2 million Americans sickened annually by waterborne diseases—ASSE 12080 ensures certified specialists are equipped to protect public health.
