Mmmmmm, germ soup.
Holidays in the sun mean a few things. Cocktails.. Less layers. Plenty of Lays and Fanta Lemon. And a dip in the pool, of course.
For some, it can turn their new blonde dye job a lovely verdant shade of green, or can irritate skin and eyes. Unfortunately, there’s not really any way around it if you want to swim in clean water. Because apparently the smells could be caused by things called chloramines. And they’re only really produced when the water meets the sweat, urine, body odours and oils of everyone in the pool. Lovely!Let’s get down to the science. I failed science in school, so I’ll try my best. Chlorine that’s used in swimming pools reacts with ammonia’s hydrogen ions. One ion, you get monochloramine, two produces dichloramine and three creates trichloramine.
