I mean cemetery, and I am interested in any biological risks around any
cemetery.
>What is the theory; that the Legionella is .... in the soil in the cemetery
dug up by the grave-diggers?
The cemetery I am concerned about is very close to a river, and there is a
lake inside. It is obvious that the graves are very wet quite often.
>>Independent laboratories can analyze samples of the water, green [sic] and
sands in order to find relationships with Legionella germs.......=20
>And what do you mean by "green" -- grass (grama)?
Yes.=20
