Chloroform IS found in swimming pool water.

Posted: Jul 3, 2011

Check this out. Found it on Wikipedia. Chloroform was discovered by three researchers independently of one another. Chloroform was reported in 1831 by the French chemist Eugène Soubeiran, who prepared it from acetone (2-propanone) as well as ethanol through the action of chlorine bleach powder (calcium hypochlorite). Calcium hypochlorite is a yellow white solid which has a strong smell of chlorine. Calcium hypochlorite is used for the disinfection of drinking water or swimming pool water. ;

"experts" during questioning at the trial, particularly on the "defense" side? There must be more to it.

Swimming pool water and chloroform research: Note that it states chlorofom concentrations are at their highest just ABOVE the water surface, and mostly in INDOOR pools and are primarily inhaled. please read the following thoroughly.

Disinfection byproducts: chloroform

Some disinfection byproducts, such as trihalomethane chloroform, are suspected carcinogenic.
Trihalomethane concentration depends upon total organic carbon, the number of swimmers and the water temperature.
Chloroform is the most important reaction product. Additionally other trihalomethanes, dichloromethane, tetrachloromethane, trichloroethene, bromodichloromethane and other chlorobromo hydrogen carbons can be found.
Chloroform and similar substances are volatile. Some part escapes from water and swimmers are exposed through inhalation. Chloroform concentrations in swimming pools vary a lot. Chloroform concentrations are highest just above the water. The suggested health standard for chloroform 100 mg/m3, this concentration is found in indoor swimming pools.
Swimming is one of the main sources of non-professional exposure to chloroform (over 70% percent after one hour of swimming). In outdoor swimming pools exposure is lower, because the wind ventilates the air above the water.
Exposure to chloroform can be measured in blood plasma of swimmers. Swimmers that swim for a long time with great physical effort (competitive swimmers) take up most chloroform. Chloroform concentrations in air is the main factor that determines the amount of chloroform that is absorbed. The time interval, the number of swimmers and the chloroform concentration in water are less important factors.

This info is documented in all the discovery - released. They did NOT sm

use chlorine in their pool, they used something else that I cannot remember the name of at the moment. A more "natural" product, less harmful, but still effective.

I am having a pool party/birthday party for my daughter tomorrow and I know of a little girl who has had head lice 3 times in the past year. (I don't really think she has gotten rid of it). If she gets in my swimming pool, what are the chances she could she give it to the other kids? I do not want to insult her by "checking" her head when she gets here and then not letting her go swimming. I know I will find nits. Any advice? ...

This same dynamic is playing out in most states. There are moves to get Congress to, first of all, stop subsidizing these practices with taxpayer dollars, but agribusiness, which never intended to get taxpayer money off its back, just our ability to control what's done with it, has its paid agents, our congressmen, fighting anything that will interfere with profits. Second, of course, is nasty old government "interference" to encourage agribusiness's transition to proven means of growi ...

He is an alcoholic and diagnosed bipolar. I quickly realized that I had become his mother and not his wife. I was taking care of him like I took care of my children. So ...

Last night I purchased a pie from a large chain grocery store that bakes on the premises and whose reputation is very good. I bought it for the others in my house, but decided to taste it this morning after they raved about it. I put my fork around what felt like a large chocolate chunk, put it in my mouth, and it turned out to be a metal frosting decorator tip. I didn't bite it or swallow it, as I was going to let it melt in my mouth to just savor the one bite I was going to indulge in. ...

Each state delegation has one vote. The Senate would elect the Vice ...
