Swimming Pool & Spa domestic water disinfection using Halogens.

Haloforms cover a range of chemicals such as Chlorine, Bromine and Flouride amongst others, that will react with substances that naturally occur in Swimming Pool & Spa bathing waters that with the right pre cursors produce Trihalomethanes (thms) & Organo Halides.

These substances are produced when one or more of the Hydrogen Atoms in the Hydrocarbon sustituted by either Chlorine or Bromine.

Almost without eception all Haloforms are:

1. Carcinogenic – Cancer Forming

2. Mutagenic – Capable of causing mutations in humans

3. Teratongenic – Capable of causing malformations in newly born children.

Trihalomethanes are absorbed in outdoor bathing applications both through the skin & through the skin and respiratory system in indoor applications.

In the right conditions they are basically poisonous – therefore ‘TOXIC”

They are the next ‘ASBESTOSIS’

Surex OO2 Oxysure & Surex OO2 Oxypure are not afected or associated chemically or biologically with this imposing salient under estimated deliberation.

These comments are purely for future apprectiation and understanding.
