GET OUT OF THE POOL!
« on: February 21, 2019, 04:31:20 PM »
Got red eyes from the pool? It's not too much chlorine. It's too much pee.

"Smell that 'chlorine'?" reads a fact sheet released by the coalition last month. "It's not what you think. What you smell are actually chemicals that form when chlorine mixes with pee, poop, sweat, and dirt from swimmers' bodies.… These chemicals — not chlorine — can cause your eyes to get red and sting, make your nose run, and make you cough."
Not just pee but now I will always remember this story.

Chlorine reacts with ammonia to make chloramine, or depending on the pH, dichloramine or trichloramine.  You may have heard of trichloramine by its other name, nitrogen trichloride (where's the explosion smiley?)
