Rainshow'r Dechlorinating Shower Heads

Dr. John Andelman, University of Pittsburgh, School of Health researched how chlorine affects us: “During a warm or hot shower, the pores open and the body and skin literally “soak up” the chlorine. Because the body acts like a “sponge” for chlorine, a person is exposed to 6 to 100 times more chlorine and waterborne toxins by taking a shower than by drinking the same water. What’s more, the chlorine gets into the shower steam as chloroform—a toxic vapor—which we breathe in, our lungs absorbing it.
