A recent study at a major US University just revealed that:
“…volatile chemicals present in many municipal drinking water supplies are especially toxic to people when they are exposed to them when bathing or showering.”
The report goes on to say:
“In the past…inhalation exposure to water pollutants has largely been ignored.”
Why is this important?
Because it seems that hot showers can send between 50 to 80 percent of the dissolved chemicals into the air where – yep, you guessed it – it can be breathed in.
(The silver lining is that emissions from baths seem to be about half as high…)
Now, here are three big fancy words you should probably know: Monochloramine, dichloramine, and trichloramine.
These are chemicals that vaporize easily out of the water that is heated and “sprayed.”
(Another issue? Warm showers also open up pores, which allows for faster absorption through the skin…making it easier for these chemicals to get inside you!)
All three forms of Chlorine are respiratory irritants, with trichloramine being the most toxic. These chemicals may also wreak havoc on the digestive system, killing good flora in your
gut, and may be linked to ailments such as chronic sinusitis.
I’m sure you can see how drinking water is just ONE part of the equation – and how absorption through skin and
inhalation through lungs are just as important. See how it all comes together?
