Swimming pools are severe

In June, and Swimming pool and hot tub A survey of 2000 informal and repeated swimmers conducted. Nearly half (53 percent) claimed that they urinated in a gathering as an adult, and actually convert an enjoyable collective activity into a shared care.

In response to this disturbing acceptance, the swimming pool coalition and the hot basin cooperate with the American Chemistry Council, an industrial group. To enhance the healthy swimming pool campaign, which raises awareness about the safety of billiards. It is clear that urination in the billiard Make pool water more disturbing.

Is urine in swimming pools a healthy risk?

Why does the billiards not urinate on a health concern? According to For the Cleveland Clinic, the urine is about 95 percent of the water, with 5 percent remaining of excess ammonia, uric acid, electrolyte, and some debris such as dead blood cells. There may be a small amount of bacteria, taken from the urethra on the way out. The billiard water that relieves urine, which means that the possibilities of a person gets sick as a direct result of escaping in other low swimming mortality.

However, when physical fluids such as urine, oil or sweat react to chlorine, chemicals called chlorine are formed. It is chlorine that gives a distinctive chlorine smell and can lead to irritation of the eye or nose. (A. Clean gathering He should not have a strong smell.)

The last scan was part of the wider exploration of the poor billiard protocol.

If you want to contribute to the sewage in the public swimming pool, it is better to shower before entering, wear clean swimwear, and avoid swimming when feeling sick, and perhaps most importantly, do not urinate in it.

“The health of the swimmer directly affects the quality of water,” Layan Forest, a spokeswoman for the US Chemistry Council, said in a statement. “Chlorine is very effective, but they cannot do its work if the swimmers carry water with dirt, oil and other pollutants. Clean swimmers mean clean swimming pools.”

You may wonder whether the poll asked the most urgent question: whether anyone admitting inflammation in the community group. None of the respondents confessed to this, but 23 percent said they would not report another person for fear that this would lead to early closure.
