Safe Health Level For Chlorine

[DavidD]

I have seen these same regulations as well as studies for chlorination of drinking water http://www.edstrom.com/DocLib/MI4174.pdf. There is evidence that levels up to 10 ppm are safe to drink (in lab mice at least) and there is 0ppm of CYA. Seems to me, common sense steps in and if you can safely drink up to 10, you are probably safe to swim in much, much higher chlorine levels.

Thank you all for your help.

Now I am at least able to explain to all who ask why this is so and put their pool shop/pool maintance persons stories of being poisoned to rest.
Although in all probability they still will not believe me.
