Peeing In The Swimming Pool Is Not Only Disgusting, It’s Dangerous

Peeing in the pool is dangerous for health.

Alanna Alexander

If peeing in the pool doesn’t completely disgust you (like it should), then here’s another reason why you shouldn’t even secretly do it.

According to researchers, mixing urine and chlorine can form potentially harmful substances which may lead to health problems.

While Chorine is often used to keep pools clean and free from disease causing microbes, it creates completely different substances when it’s mixed with sweat and urine.

Compounds that can cause problems in the lung, heart and central nervous system which are all very preventable problems.

Stop peeing, everyone!
