A major sports stadium in New York has been included among ten cooling towers across the region ordered for cleaning after a recent spike in Legionnaires' disease cases. Health officials have linked the increase to contaminated water systems in these structures, which disperse mist that can carry harmful bacteria. The directive follows growing concerns over public health risks tied to poorly maintained cooling towers, particularly in densely populated urban areas. Authorities emphasize the need for thorough inspections and disinfection to prevent further outbreaks.
