Peeing in a swimming pool causes respiratory illness

Many people think that the urination habit in the pool is harmless, but the fact has been proven that this bad habit will make us suffer from respiratory diseases.

Scientists from China Agricultural University and Purdue University reported in the Journal of Environmental Science and Technology that compounds in urine when combined with chlorine will create new compounds, affecting directly Next to our airways.

They collected water samples from swimming pools in China to do a series of experiments, analyzing samples.

The truth about going to the pool will somehow improve people's consciousness when they come to the pool.

After analyzing pool water samples and related experiments, scientists have found that: Chlorine - the substance used to disinfect swimming pools, can react with certain substances in sweat and urine. human, in which the most dangerous is Uric acid .

Depending on the temperature, the pH of the water and the concentration of chlorine, Uric acid will combine with chlorine to produce Cyanogen chloride .

Cyanogen chloride can affect many organs in the body, including the lungs, heart and central nervous system through the respiratory tract.

According to previous studies, Trichloramine (also known as Nitrogen Trichloride, is produced when chlorinated water interacts with urine, sweat and other organic substances) that will affect lung activity. in adults and cause eye irritation, runny nose and loss of voice of people who regularly work in swimming pools.

Scientists hope this information will improve somewhat the habits and consciousness of hygiene and hygiene for those who come and use the pool.
