Exposures to chloroform via showering, bathing, and swimming have been characterized much better since 1999, and these studies show that blood levels are usually higher via these routes than via drinking chlorinated water (Xu & Weisel, 2005; Caro & Gallego, 2007; Zwiener et al., 2007). Chloroform exposure has also been documented in various occupations (Ruder, 2006) and in microenvironments, such as restaurants (Loh et al., 2006). Chloroform exposure also may be occurring when people use triclosan-containing antibacterial soaps (Fiss et al., 2007).
