NEW YORK -- Officials say traces of Legionnaires' disease have been found in a New York City police precinct where an officer was hospitalized with symptoms of the disease. One police officer told CBS New York that he and his colleagues are on edge, wondering how long the bacteria has possibly been in their workplace. Legionnaires' disease is a form of pneumonia that's spread by inhaling mist from water tanks, cooling towers, hot tubs and whirlpool spas contaminated with the Legionella bacteria. The health department says they were informed that preliminary results of some tests conducted by an independent contractor at the precinct in Harlem showed traces of the bacteria. The New York Times reports health officials began investigating the water at the precinct Friday night after they were notified that an officer had been diagnosed with the disease.
