I actually do some work with the American Chemistry Council and I'll be the first one to admit that chlorine can be harmful if used improperly. But an unchlorinated pool would be much more disgusting and would be full of bacteria that would surely contribute to infections and diseases. In short, the benefits of chlorine vastly outweigh the risks. Folks, I think this study is vastly, vastly over-hyped.
