Cases of legionellosis, related to hot tubs, have been an ongoing concern for indoor air quality professionals for years.

In it, the agency warns certain groups of people to be especially careful around hot tubs. Those groups include people who are 65 years old or older, smokers, people suffering from chronic lung diseases, and those with a weakened immune system. Legionella is a type of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria. Both Pontiac Fever and Legionnaires' disease, collectively and individually know as legionellosis, are caused by exposure to the bacteria.
