Bubbling health at Blackpool
Article Abstract:
Many environmentalists oppose the use of bleach to purify water as it can react chemically with other matters to form carcigonenics. Bleach is discouraged in some hospitals and schools because it may release chlorine gas if used incorrectly. US research shows an increase in rectal and bladder cancer in heavily chlorinated water areas. The IARC (International Agency for Research on Cancer) published an evaluation on the risks of carcigonics in drinking water in 1991. Results showed levels are usually too low to be of any real danger.
