The absorption rate of chlorine in a ten minute shower is equal to the amount of chlorine consumed in eight glasses of tap water.
Chlorine is used extensively in the treatment of our water system to make it safe to drink.
It reacts with organic compounds like oils on the skin and forms chlorinated compounds which are then absorbed by the body and promote ageing of the skin. Research papers from publications like The New England Journal of Medicine have discussed this formation of chlorinated compounds that have been proven to be carcinogenic and have lately been directly linked to certain diseases. Copies of articles on this subject are posted in our Articles on Ozone and Water section of the site. Soaking up those chemicals can damage your skin, lungs, hair, and general health. We specialize in the use of ozone, the strongest, fastest and safest way to clean your water.
