How Safe is Your Shower?

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

Just when you thought it was safe to go back into the water…..

No, this is not about sharks. It is about unsafe water (if your water is chlorinated). A study compared the risk of exposure to chloroform exposure when showering. Chloroform is the result of chlorine in the shower water that vaporizes and then combines with other chemicals.

The combination of ingestion, inhalation, absorption and ingestion ration resulted in a cancer risk of 4.99 to 17.59 per million for a 10 minute shower and up to almost 65 per million for a 20 min shower.

Here is the study….Estimates of cancer risk from chloroform exposure during showering in Taiwan. from 1998. There are newer studies that continue to look at this. Stronger warnings are being sent out.

You might think these are great odds. However, the person getting cancer will not think so. Further, what if it could be avoided all together? There are a couple of simple and inexpensive things that you can do to protect yourself.
