Airtech International Group, a manufacturer of air-purification technology, is launching a national media campaign directed at hospitals and medical establishments on the need for adequate indoor purification systems in their facilities. The campaign was motivated by a report of a Legionnaires' disease breakout in a Maryland hospital late this summer.
Legionnaires' disease was named by the Center for Disease Control in 1976 when an outbreak was triggered by bacteria inadvertently distributed through the Philadelphia Stratford Hotel's ventilation system during an American Legion convention.
