Chlorine is universally recognized and used as an effective chemical for purifying water.  Because of its effectiveness in killing microorganisms, water companies use chlorine and its derivatives.  Chlorine attacks organic matter, making a potent bleaching agent.
	Chlorine is also very  H A Z A R D O U S !

Most authorities feel that we take in more chlorine from one     shower than we do from drinking the same water in one day.
If Chlorine works so well in killing bacteria and bleaching and oxidizing organic food stains,        What does it do to our skin, eyes, and lungs? ...all of which are organic matter.          It plays havoc with our skin and hair because it chemically bonds with the protein in our bodies.        It makes hair brittle and dry; it can make sensitive skin dry, flaky and itchy.
	It makes good sense to remove chlorine from all drinking water as well as our bathing and showering water.   Our human skin surface is our largest body organ, weighing about 12 pounds for the average adult.    It would not seem any wiser to expose that much skin to a chemical disinfectant like chlorine, than it would be to drink it.
