While only one in five Americans admits to peeing where others swim
studies suggest the average swimmer unwittingly "drips out" up to two
shot glasses of urine swimming session.
Researchers from China
Agricultural University and Purdue University found that when urine
combines with swimming pool water containing chlorine and other
chemicals, two dangerous chemical byproducts are formed, cyanogen
chloride and thrichloramine.
These compounds cause a number of
problems for swimmers that can affect the lungs, heart and central
nervous system as well as other parts of the body.
