Chlorine
Chlorine is added to municipal water supplies to kill bacteria, viruses and make it safe for public use and drinking. It is not common knowledge but in World War One chlorine gas was used to kill thousands of troops and left untold numbers of civilians with the after effects of having parts of their inner organs burned by the gas.
Chlorine kills living organisms, your skin is a living organism, so what do you think it does to your skin? Have you noticed how dry and flaky your skin can be after you shower, it irritates your eyes leaves your hair dry and unmanageable with an itchy scalp. If you take a hot steamy shower you are breathing into your lungs toxic chlorine fumes.
Your body can absorb more chlorine in a 10-minute shower than from drinking over a gallon of polluted water. Making matters worse chlorine aggravates symptoms of allergy, sinus and emphysema sufferers. Chlorine can also combine with modern day pollutants and form THMs (tri-halo-methane’s)
