I can smell chlorine ?

I can frequently smell chlorine when I allow water to run out of our domestic tap, or shower. Information from wikipedia : Chlorine is detectable with measuring devices in concentrations of as low as 0.2 parts per million (ppm), and by smell at 3 ppm. Coughing and vomiting may occur at 30 ppm and lung damage at 60 ppm. Q.Could inhaled chlorine be a major cause of asthma (inflamed airways) and cause of aggravations by increasing pre-existing inflammation?
