Water Filters Can Remove Cancerous Chemicals

Chlorine is in most water companies and their systems. Of course during warm weather months chlorine is higher. Every day the amount coming into your house can vary depending on what level the water company had to use to get your water to an acceptable level to consume. They have to be able to kill the bacteria and chlorine for them is quick, easy and reasonably priced.

Companies started using chlorine for water in the late 1800s to remove Cholera and Typhoid. It was cheap, easy and quick so it was readily accepted. It also kills just about all bacteria, so the water companies did not have to use various different chemicals or methods to clean the water. This one worked to kill all contaminants. At that time the populations who used chlorine in purifying their water found they had less incidence of illness than those that did not. They however did not realize the long term effects of using chlorine on our bodies.

We now know that chlorine is not good for us to drink or shower in. It is a poison in the sense that it has carcinogens. This means there are chemicals in chlorine that cause cancer over a long period of time. Chlorine reacts with other chlorinated mixtures which can possibly be toxic.

It is considered bad to shower or bathe in chlorinated water. When you do shower or bathe you use warm water. This causes the pores on your skin to open up and your skin readily absorbs the chlorine. Also the steam from the hot water contains chlorine and you inhale that into your lungs. Did you know that you absorb more chemicals during a 10 minute shower than drinking 8 glasses of the chlorinated water? Using this type of water also caused skin irritations, dryness and eye irritations. It can also affect your sinuses. It has been shown to be a direct cause of many bladder and rectal cancers in the United States.

Many water filters available today do not specifically remove chlorine, but there are some that do. You may just be interested in removing chlorine from your shower, your drinking water or both.

I am sure that you would not knowingly bathe in toxic chemicals every morning or irritate your lungs and know that you are giving yourself a risk for cancer. My regularly using water that has been filtered can reduce your risk greatly.
