Most authorities feel that the human body takes in more chlorine from one shower than drinking the same water in one day. The surprising answer is that a person absorbs far more contaminants from shower water than by drinking the water. When one drinks the water, it goes through the digestive system, septic system and ultimately it is processed and some part ends up in the blood stream.

When showering however, the hot water opens the pores and the chlorine and other contaminants are absorbed through the skin. One needs only to note the effectiveness of the nicotine patch in order to appreciate the effectiveness of transdermal. In the same way, contaminants are absorbed, only they bypasses the digestive systems and other systems and go directly into the blood stream. There is a proven link between chlorine and bladder cancer as published in Public Health magazine by Dr. Halina Brown in the American Journal of Public Health.

Another area of great concern is, inhalation of fumes. Of course, in the shower stall, it's a small area, and the hot shower water produces steam making it very easy to inhale chlorine, which is after all, a gas as well as, water born Radon gas.
