In school safety discussions, it can be easy to overlook hidden dangers. Among the foremost concerns in today’s schools are the threats posed by *Legionella*, asbestos, and lead.  ![Michael Berg, Ph.D.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Michael%20Berg%20Square.png?width=45&name=Michael%20Berg%20Square.png) [Michael Berg, Ph.D.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/author/michael-berg-ph-d) [Read More](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/school-safety-101-identifying-the-hidden-threats-of-legionella-asbestos-and-lead) ![](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hubfs/blog%20header%20(11).png) [Legionella,](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/legionella) [healthcare,](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/healthcare) [Asbestos,](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/asbestos) [Building Sciences,](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/building-sciences) [Mold and Fungi](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/mold-and-fungi) ### [The Hidden Risks of Healthcare Construction](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/the-hidden-risks-of-healthcare-construction) Jun 4, 2025 1:00:03 PM With demands on the American healthcare system growing, construction projects to expand capacity or update services are a common sight in facilities across the country. However, construction and renovation projects can inadvertently pose significant health risks if not managed properly. Among the various hazards, microbiological dangers such as *Legionella*, molds, and other waterborne or airborne pathogens present serious concerns. Additionally, disturbances to older structures can release contaminants such as asbestos, adding to the dangers to patients, healthcare workers, and construction personnel.   ![Michael Berg, Ph.D.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Michael%20Berg%20Square.png?width=45&name=Michael%20Berg%20Square.png) [Michael Berg, Ph.D.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/author/michael-berg-ph-d) [Read More](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/the-hidden-risks-of-healthcare-construction) ![](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hubfs/blog%20header%20(10).png) [healthcare,](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/healthcare) [Building Sciences,](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/building-sciences) [ST108](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/st108) ### [Reducing Healthcare-Associated Infections with AAMI ST108](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/reducing-healthcare-associated-infections-with-aami-st108) May 29, 2025 11:00:01 AM Healthcare-Associated Infections (HAIs) are a major public health concern as they increase the length of hospital stays, healthcare costs, and mortality rates. During the COVID-19 pandemic, [HAIs rose by 47%](https://www.cdc.gov/healthcare-associated-infections/php/data/covid-impact.html) across all types of healthcare facilities and by 65% in intensive care units (ICUs). Thankfully, rates have dropped again, but the pandemic demonstrated just how vulnerable healthcare systems can be to opportunistic pathogens.   ![Michael Berg, Ph.D.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Michael%20Berg%20Square.png?width=45&name=Michael%20Berg%20Square.png) [Michael Berg, Ph.D.](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/author/michael-berg-ph-d) [Read More](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/reducing-healthcare-associated-infections-with-aami-st108) ![](https://blog.pacelabs.com/hubfs/blog%20header%20(1).png) [Drinking Water,](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/drinking-water) [Legionella,](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/legionella) [Building Sciences](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/tag/building-sciences) ### [What Facilities Managers Need to Know About New Jersey’s new “Legionella Law”](https://blog.pacelabs.com/keeping-pace-with-analytical-services/what-facilities-managers-need-to-know-about-new-jerseys-new-legionella-law) Feb 12, 2025 11:00:00 AM In 2024, the New Jersey state legislature passed [S2188/A1970](https://www.njleg.state.nj.us/bill-search/2024/S2188), a law requiring Public Community Water Systems, owners or operators of certain types of buildings, and others to take action to protect public health by preventing and controlling *Legionella* in their water systems.
