They said that these harmful bacteria in water taps provided by municipalities more than those coming from wells, which are common in high temperature geographically, where certain types of lung diseases caused by these bacteria.
"There is a thriving world of bacteria in the shower and falling off your head," one researcher said.
He added that most of these bacteria are harmless, but a few of them are harmful, pointing out that this type of research helps in dealing with how to deal with systems that provide homes with water.
