Why install a chlorine shower filter?
Chlorine evaporates faster than water. In the shower, chlorine molecules convert to toxic gas, and enter the body through skin pores or inhalation. Chlorine gas can cause allergic reactions and respiratory or skin disease, and it can aggravate existing conditions such as asthma or eczema. Chlorine reacts with volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in water, to form trihalomethanes (THMs). Research links THMs to cancer in adults and low birth weight in newborns.
