Chlorine is universally used to control micro organisms in water and should not be a part of your shower.  The American Cancer Society estimates that "householders could receive from 6 to 100 times more of the chemicals by breathing the the air around showers, baths, etc...than they would by drinking water."  Chlorine chemically bonds with the proteins in our body's cells. Skin is our body's largest organ and entirely chlorine absorbent. Also chlorine is vaporized in the shower and inhaled into the lungs where it is transferred directly into the blood system and transported throughout the body.

Early symptoms of chlorine exposure are dry and irritated skin, damaged and brittle hair, flaky-itchy scalp, redness and burning eyes.

Just a Few Words from the Experts

"Known carcinogens are found in drinking water as a direct consequence of the practice of chlorinating.  A long established public health practice for the disinfecting of drinking water."

Municipal Environmental Research Laboratory
Francis T. Mayo, Director

"Studies indicate the suspect chemicals can also be inhaled and absorbed through the skin during showering and bathing.

"Ironically, even the chlorine widely used to disinfect water produces carcinogenic traces."

"Though 7 out of 10 Americans drink chlorinated water, its safety over the long term is uncertain."

U.S. NEWS & WORLD REPORT - July 29, 1991
Is Your Water Safe - The Dangerous State of Your Water

"On one hand, chlorination has freed civilization form the constant dangers of waterborne epidemics.  On the other hand in the mid 70's scientists discovered that chlorination could create carcinogens in water."

"80% of the population drinks chlorinated water."

"Volatile organics can evaporate from water in a shower or bath."

Is Your Water Safe To Drink?

"Cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."

U.S. Council of Environmental Quality

"Chlorine is used almost universally in the treatment of public drinking water because of its toxic effect on harmful bacteria and other waterborne, disease-causing organisms.  But there is a growing body of scientific evidence that shows that chlorine in drinking water may actually pose greater long term dangers than those for which it was used to eliminate.  These effects of chlorine may result from either ingestion of absorption through the skin.  Scientific studies have linked chlorine and disease, ataherosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), anemia, high blood pressure, and allergic reactions. There is also evidence that shows that chlorine can destroy protein in our body and cause adverse effects on skin and hair.  The presence of chlorine in water may also contribute to the formation of chloramines in the water, which can cause taste and odor problems."

"The Shower Master Filter Unit is of great value to those who are concerned about the adverse health effects of exposure to chlorine due to absorption through the skin or by inhalation.  The Shower Master Show Filter will provide superior protection form chlorine, when used in accordance with the manufacturer's recommended operation procedures."
