  Welcome to the Routine Environmental Testing Results in the Absence of Cases Module (the Routine Environmental Testing Module), a supplement to the Legionnaires’ Disease Risk Communication Toolkit. This module is intended to be used as an adjunct to the other setting-specific modules. It should be used when positive environmental samples indicate the presence of Legionella in a facility’s building water system or device commonly associated with Legionnaires’ disease (LD), but no recent cases are associated with it. Specifically, this module is intended only for circumstances in which there are no recent LD cases that report exposure to the facility or a device during the 14 days prior to their illness onset.
  
  The toolkit was authored for CSTE by Patricia I. Elliott JD, MPH, President, Health|Environment Concepts under the direction of CSTE staff member, Ashley Vineyard, MPH.
  
  This project was funded under a cooperative agreement with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (NU38OT000297-01-00).
