Is Swimming Pool Chlorine Safe? [INFOGRAPHIC]
Swimming pools a fun and relaxing addition to any home, but
they’re not without some serious drawbacks. Most homeowners are fully aware of
the price and the risk of injury, but what about that chlorine?
Occasional exposure to outdoor chlorinated swimming pools is
generally safe, but if you make it a habit, that exposure has the potential for
some serious side effects. Swimming pool chlorine has been linked to several
surprising health issues, including asthma, cavities, and lung injury. Prolonged
and regular exposure can exacerbate all of these issues, and preexisting
conditions only add to it.
Be sure to use swimming pools in limited doses, and make
sure you understand the health risks of long term use. It’s hard to deny that
swimming is a lot of fun and great exercise, but sometimes the risks don’t
offset the rewards.
