CHLORINE AND CHLORAMINES DANGER
To
better appreciate the power of using Vitamin C as the de-chlorination
agent in the Vitamin C Shower Filter, the hazards in our water supplies
must be better understood. These dangers are real and should not be
overlooked or accepted by the general public.
Chlorine is universally used to chemically disinfect public water
systems because of its toxic effect on harmful germs, bacteria and
disease-causing organisms. as defined above, chlorine is a toxic gas.
with greater exposure to toxic chlorine contained in water supplies, the
potential health dangers we face become more real.
During the bathing & showering process the some reports claim that as
much chlorine enters the body by inhaling steamy chlorinated shower
vapors or through the open pores of the skin as that which enters the
body by drinking chlorinated water during the entire day. this increased
exposure to the adverse effects of chlorine by household residents can
be from 6 to 100 times more than medically recommended.
Chlorine & Skin
Chlorine also attacks the skin and skin oils, creating a dermal drying
effect. Shower water can also cause or worsen skin irritations and
rashes as well as drying the skin. Showering and bathing in chlorinated
water will also result in the breakage of hair shafts. Because chlorine
is absorbed into the body through the skin, additional physical problems
can ensue. Chlorinated water can also irritate eyes, leaving them red,
itchy and burning. Inhaling the toxic steam can aggravate the sinuses
and lungs. Chloramines, although a more stable compound, contains
chlorine and ammonia and is also used to control bacteria in water
systems. Its harmful effects cause the same dangers as pure chlorine.
So, our Vita-Fresh Shower Filter removes of 99% chlorine to protect the
skin from the side effects of chlorine.
Chlorine & Hair
Hair is still a part of our skin, but the major difference from our skin
is that hair is not curable once it is damaged. Chlorine residue
oxidizes protein and cuticle causing dull and clumsy looking hair as
well as dandruff.
So, our Vita-Fresh Shower Filter removes of 99% chlorine to protect the
hair from damage.
