10 Benefits Of Using A Shower Filter |
|
|
- The
EPA has stated that every household in the United States has
elevated levels of chloroform in the air due to chlorine
released from showering water.
- Tap water often contains at
least as much, if not more, chlorine than is recommended for use
in swimming pools.
- More chlorine enters the body
through dermal absorption and inhalation while showering than
through drinking tap water.
- The chlorine in showering
water has harsh, drying effects on skin and hair.
- Skin pores widen while
showering, making dermal absorption of chlorine and other
chemicals possible.
- The chlorine in showering
water can cause rashes and other skin irritations when absorbed
by the skin.
- Chemicals in showering water
vaporize at a much faster rate than the actual water. Thus, the
steam in a shower contains a much higher concentration of
chemicals than the water itself.
- Inhaled chemicals make their
way into the bloodstream much more quickly than ingested
chemicals, without the added filtration benefits of digestion.
- More water contaminants are
released into the air of a home from the shower than from any
other source.
- Chlorine is a suspected cause
of breast cancer. Women suffering from breast cancer are all
found to have 50-60 percent more chlorine in their breast tissue
than healthy women.
