Chlorination by-products in drinking water and swimming pools -- trihalomethanes such as chloroform, for example -- are not very healthy either. And while there are ways to disinfect water that lead to fewer/better DBPs, chlorination sure beats the alternative of unsanitary water.
I'll take the chemistry professor's word on this one :)
