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.
