How Safe is Chlorine ?

This blog aims to bring together available information to allow people to decide for themselves the answer to the above question. Chlorinated water, Asthma, Eczema, Bowel cancer, and Inflammatory bowel disease are all more common in the Western world. Ozone appears to be a cheap, safe and effective alternative. Simple measures such as boiling tap water to increase evaporation of chlorine, and using a water filter to remove THM compounds are measures the author uses for his own drinking water.
