The Growing Challenge of NTMs in Public Water Systems and Facility Management
We would love to hear what you think?
Welcome to another episode of The Exposure Scientist Podcast! Today, host Dr. Alex LeBeau dives into the world of nontuberculosis mycobacterium (NTMs)—a large and diverse group of waterborne bacteria that pose health risks but are often overlooked. While Legionella gets most of the attention due to its national reportable status, NTMs are emerging as a significant concern for water systems in homes, workplaces, spas, and even healthcare settings.
In this episode, you'll learn where NTMs are commonly found, why tracking and managing them can be so challenging, and how our current water safety strategies may be falling short. Dr. Alex LeBeau highlights real-world cases and industry guidelines while offering practical advice on considering NTMs in your facility’s water management plan. Whether you’re a concerned homeowner, a risk manager, or just curious about hidden hazards in your everyday environment, this episode sheds light on a topic that's quickly becoming crucial for public health. Stay tuned as we explain NTMs and how to protect yourself and others.
