Any of these studies take into consideration the fact that along with adding chlorine...we also use sulfuric, muriatic and cyanuric acids in these pools?
From Wiki:
Cyanuric acid is classified as "essentially nontoxic". The 50% oral median lethal dose (LD50) is 7700 mg/kg in rats.
However, when cyanuric acid is administered together with melamine (which by itself is another low-toxicity substance), they may form extremely insoluble crystals, leading to formation of kidney stones and potentially causing kidney failure and death -- as evidenced in dogs and cats during the 2007 pet food contamination and in children during the 2008 Chinese milk scandal cases.
Just wondering...I didn't see anything about these lethal chemicals in the studies...
