Exercise induced bronchospasm and chlorine in swimming pools
Background: Swimming is often the preferred exercise prescription for asthmatics. However, there is also concern because increased sensitisation to allergens and a high rate of bronchial responsiveness to methacholine has been reported in swimmers (Drobnic, 1992). It has recently been hypothesized that chronic exposure to chlorine compounds in swimming pool water might sensitize the airways and...
متن کامل[Chlorine concentrations in the air of indoor swimming pools and their effects on swimming pool workers].
OBJECTIVE To describe chlorine levels in the air of indoor swimming pools in Castilla-La Mancha (Spain) and relate them to other chemical parameters in the installation and to the health problems perceived by swimming pool workers. METHODS We analyzed 21 pools with chlorine as chemical treatment in Castilla-La Mancha. The iodometry method was applied to measure chlorine concentrations in the ...
متن کاملThe Effectiveness of Ozone-chlorine Treatment for Reducing Chloramine Concentration Compared to Chlorine Treatment in Swimming Pools and Whirlpools
Objectives: Chloramines are by-products of chlorine disinfected swimming pools and are hazardous to people if chloramines evaporate into the air. There is evidence that chloramines cause upper respiratory tract and eye irritation. It was suspected that ozone treatment in addition to chlorine disinfection will reduce chloramine levels in the pool. The following study compared chloramine concentr...
متن کاملTrihalomethanes in chlorine and bromine disinfected swimming pools: air-water distributions and human exposure.
This first study of trihalomethanes (THMs) in swimming pools using bromine agents for water disinfection under real conditions shows that the mixtures of these compounds are largely dominated by bromoform in a similar process as chloroform becomes the dominant THM in pools disinfected with chlorine agents. Bromoform largely predominates in air and water of the pool installations whose concentra...
متن کاملLessons learned from chlorine intoxications in swimming pools: the challenge of pediatric mass toxicological events.
INTRODUCTION The classical doctrine of mass toxicological events provides general guidelines for the management of a wide range of "chemical" events. The guidelines include provisions for the: (1) protection of medical staff with personal protective equipment; (2) simple triage of casualties; (3) airway protection and early intubation; (4) undressing and decontamination at the hospital gates; a...
