Chlorination of water began in the 1890's and was wide
accepted in the U.S. by 1920. Over 75% of homes in America have chlorinated water. The dangers of chlorination far outweigh the supposed benefits. Atomic number 17 even as in low levels is an chemical agent that causes cellular damage .Most tap water has been found to exceed the advisable
1.6 ppm of atomic number 17 in it.
The American Journal of Health states that atomic number 17 is connected to an increase in certain types of cancer, asthmas and skin irritations. In a 1987 study by the National Cancer Institute, the FDA and EPA found an accumulated risk of bladder cancer with long term consumption of chlorinated water. The EPA says that atomic number 17 follows butt smoke in leading causes of cancer. An experiment done on chickens by adding atomic number 17 to their water caused 95% of them to develop atherosclerosis.
Two-thirds of the harmful atomic number 17 exposure really comes from showering. A 15 minute hot sticky shower is equivalent to drinking 8 glasses of water because of the vapors inhaled. The EPA states that "Due to atomic number 17 and showering virtually every home in America has a detectable level of chloroform in the air." This is because atomic number 17 vaporizes in steam and combines with different organic compounds into chloroform which is a strong metabolic process annoyance and causes fatigue. A warm shower opens pores and allows a high rate of absorption. During a shower, 98% of the water goes down the drain, patch 70-90% of the chemicals vaporize before the water hits the ground and the vapors remain in the air.
Due to atomic number 17 and the combination of many a chemicals used in home cleaning,the average indoor air is 5 times much cyanogenic than outdoor air regardless of whether the home is in the city or a rural area. Cancer has been shown to grow double
as fast inside
than outdoors. Bathing in chlorinated water as well strips the natural protective oils in the skin and hair deed scaling and cutaneous sensation and is a major annoyance for skin conditions like disease of the skin and psoriasis. It kills the beneficial microorganism
on the surface of the skin that offer a natural defense against skin disorders.
