How does residual chlorine enter our body?

After chlorine is put into water, in addition to consuming a part of the chlorine through the interaction with bacteria, microorganisms, organic matter, inorganic substances, etc. in the water, there is still a part of the chlorine remaining, and this part of the residual chlorine is called residual chlorine. Chlorine is the most effective and cheapest disinfectant, and is used by most water utilities to kill bacteria. In daily life, long-term bathing with bath water containing residual chlorine will whiten the skin and cause dry, broken, and bifurcated hair. It can also cause the skin layer to fall off, which can easily cause skin allergies, and in severe cases, increase the risk of cancer. Chlorine gas can also produce carcinogens such as chloroform when heated. Some families like to boil tap water for drinking. It has to be said that after the tap water is boiled, the organic decay in the water will produce carcinogens such as chloroform, which is 3 to 4 times higher than that of tap water. If residual chlorine cannot be removed, we will use daily water and utility water to contain residual chlorine. For example, wash vegetables and fruit daily in chlorinated water. It will destroy nutrients such as vitamins and minerals in vegetables and fruits, and seriously affect the absorption of nutrients by the human body. Harm of residual chlorine to pregnant women: Pregnant women drink tap water containing residual chlorine for a long time, which will affect the development of fetal heart and lungs. It may also cause cardiac arrhythmias and pulmonary dysfunction in newborns. Harm of residual chlorine to children: When children take a bath with tap water, their hair will be dry, broken, and bifurcated, their skin will be bleached, the skin layer will fall off, and allergies will occur. When chlorine gas is inhaled into the lungs through the respiratory tract, it will damage the cells of the respiratory tract and easily lead to asthma and emphysema. The harm of residual chlorine to the elderly: it will lead to atherosclerosis in the elderly, increase the probability of cancer in the elderly, and cause high blood pressure. From this point of view, residual chlorine is indeed harmful to our body.
