How Safe Do You Think Your Bathroom Really Is?

We all like to think that when we enter our bathroom to enjoy a nice hot shower that we are really treating our body to a good thing right? Well if that shower you are enjoying happens to have chlorine in the water which it most probably does, then you may be exposing yourself to some dangerous situations. Many people are becoming aware of the dangers of chlorine in their drinking water but they don't give much thought to showering in it. What we forget is that the skin is the largest organ of the body and its capable of absorbing external elements. So for example, during an average shower you are exposing yourself to around 20-25 gallons of chlorinated water. Some reports indicate that up to 2/3rds of harmful chlorine exposure can come from this including what you may inhale from the steam. So if you want to equate this to what it would equal if you were to drink chlorine treated water it would be about a weeks worth of consumed water.

You may think this is a little hard to believe as the majority of the water just rolls off you right? Well yes but when you have those hot showers it opens up your skin pores which allows for the absorption. The other factor is that a good portion of that hot water turns to steam which you end up inhaling a significant amount of it.

So as you can see its really becoming increasingly important to keep yourself aware of the common dangers that may be lurking in what you consider to be your safe home environment.
