The Positives & Negatives of Chlorine

Chlorine is used by water treatment plants to reduce levels of microorganisms that can spread diseases to humans.  But chlorine is also a strong poison that chemically bonds to the protein in our hair and skin.  So depending on where you live in relation to your county’s water treatment plant (and how safe it actually operates), you may be exposed to dangerous levels of chlorine on a daily basis.

Chlorine Showerhead Filter

The best way to protect yourself is to purchase a chlorine showerhead filter.  Primarily they’re available online.  Home Depot has a relatively inexpensive one and it’s easy to install.
