Should we swim or not? See below message:
Swimming is an incredible form of exercise and recreation, but if you perform it in a chlorinated swimming pool, especially one that’s indoors, you could be putting your future health at risk.
The risk comes from disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which are formed when organic materials like hair, skin, sweat, dirt and urine react with the large amounts of chlorine used to sanitize the pool water.
DBPs are over 1,000 times more toxic than the chlorine itself, and in the first study of its kind to examine exactly what kind of damage these toxins are doing to swimmers, the results were alarming.
