The Truth About Chlorinated Water - A Toxicologist's Take

Описание: Dr. Dingle discusses the issue of chlorine in water and its potential health risks. The speaker highlights that chlorine is added to water to prevent waterborne and foodborne diseases, making it essential. However, long-term exposure to chlorine in drinking water and through showers can lead to health problems. Chlorine, being an oxidizing agent, interacts with other molecules in water and produces potentially toxic chemicals. These chlorinated byproducts have been linked to various health conditions, including birth defects, cancers, and damage to organ systems.

Dr. Dingle emphasizes that chlorine is particularly concentrated in shower water, as it forms a gas in hot water under pressure. Breathing in chlorine during showers can damage the lungs and the lung microbiome. Therefore, while chlorine is necessary in the water supply, it is crucial to remove it before consumption to minimize health risks. Overall, the video highlights the need to address the issue of chlorine in water and find effective ways to eliminate it.
