Chlorine
The greatest source of misery is the insidious chemical,
that is ever present in most tap water and that people bath, swim and shower in daily, chlorine. When Chlorine is used for water disinfection it chemically reacts with organic materials in the water and dangerous by-products
like Dioxin are produced. By the way.... you are an organic material.
Chlorine is the the Devils Element. Chlorine is the most deadly
chemical in the world today. Chlorine remains in constant use and
continues to be accepted as the method of choice to disinfect water. 122 World Governments have recognized that the 22 leading environmental hazards are all Organo-Chlorine compounds and have
called for a ban on all use of chlorine.
Chlorine is a poisonous, gas with
a suffocating odor, widely used as a disinfectant, primarily because it has been
Grand fathered in by public health authorities after decades of use. Chlorine is
an oxidizer, which means "burning" from a chemical reaction.
Chlorine is capable of causing fire or explosion and will liberate toxic gases
if in contact with organic materials.
Chlorine was the first chemical used for
chemical warfare during Word War I. Chlorine is toxic and will burn your
eyes, irritate your skin and damage hair, direct contact should be avoided.
Chlorine is also corrosive and will affect pipes, plumbing and mechanical
equipment.
Chlorines toxicity to
human life is well known. Only recently, has the truth been
revealed showing chlorine to be a Carcinogen and Mutanagenic when it combines with most forms of organic matter. If chlorine were a new product and proposed for
water purification today, it would be banned before it could be used!
You don't have to be exposed to chlorine.
Dioxin
Dioxin is a complex molecule of chlorine. It is chlorine in
possibly its deadliest form. In a recent article from the National Cancer
Society relating to dioxin, a scientific group traced the contamination of Rainy
River to pulp mills processing and bleaching paper. When chlorine is used
to bleach paper at the mills, the by-product, dioxin is discharged into our
sewer and river systems.
Chlorine Dioxin and other chemicals are a loaded gun aimed at us by a madman.
A study in Science News found dioxin-contaminated milk caused by dioxin leaching
into the milk from cardboard containers. And what do our United
States Authorities have to say about Chlorine and Dioxin.?
"There is no evidence linking Chlorine with Cancer.".......
unbelievable and don't you believe it !
The Canadian Authorities consider in the Niagara river and the water flowing
over Niagara falls into the St. Lawrence Seaway and on into the Great Lakes as
the: "Largest volume of toxic water in the world"
Primarily contaminated with Dioxin and Chlorine related chemical compounds.
Chlorine and Heart Disease
Over 2000 chemical contaminants have been detected in U. S. drinking water since 1974 with 190 known or
suspected to cause adverse health effects at certain concentration levels. In total, 97 carcinogens and suspected carcinogens, 82 Mutanagen and suspected outages, 28 acute and chronic toxic
contaminants and 23 tumor promoters have been detected in U. S. drinking water since 1974. The remaining 90% of the organic matter present in drinking water has not been identified by
testing to-date.
Compounds in these concentration could pose serious toxic effects, either alone or in combination with other chemicals found in drinking water.
Overall, available scientific evidence continues to substantiate the link between consumption of toxins in drinking water and serious public health concerns, Studies have strengthened the
association between ingestion of toxins and elevated cancer mortality risks"(5)
Studies in New Orleans, Louisiana; Eric County, New York, Washington County Maryland, Ohio County, Ohio reveal high levels of halo forms or THM
‘s in drinking water The result – higher levels of cancer. (6) (7) (8) (9)
‘The continued use of chlorine as the main drinking water disinfectant in the United States only adds to the organic chemical contamination
of drinking water supplies. The current federal standard regulation of Trihalomethanes do not adequately protect water consumers from the multitude of other organic chlorination by-products
that have been shown in many studies to be mutenagenic and toxic’(5)
"Chlorine is so dangerous" according to biologist/chemist Dr. Herbert Schwartz," that Is should be banned. Putting chlorine In
the water is like starting a time bomb. Cancer heart trouble, premature senility, both mental and physical are conditions attributable to chlorine, treated water supplies. It is making us
grow old before our time by producing symptoms of ageing such as hardening of the arteries. I believe if chlorine were now proposed for the first time to be used in drinking water it would
be banned by the Food and Drug Administration."(10)
Disinfections of Water
Today's water treatment methods
rely on chemical disinfectants to prevent water borne diseases from becoming
epidemic health problems. Chlorine (the primary water treatment chemical) has
shown its ability to control the many water borne infectious diseases such as
cholera, typhus and dysentery which could other wise run rampant.
Chlorination and chemical control
of simple biological organisms have proven useful and essential but we are
learning the price we pay for the benefits of chemical control. Chlorine itself
is a known carcinogen and yet it is the accepted sanitation standard for water.
The side effects of chlorine results in adverse effects on human health and a
serious threat to our world environment.
Second and Third world countries
that lack chlorinated water systems, the results of bad water are intestinal
problems that are often overcome by the human immune system and a
tolerance for contaminated water is the result.
Chlorine is under attack not only
from health conscious consumers and environmental groups, but also the United
States Government and 122 World Governments want to totally eliminate
chlorine use.
Why such drastic action for one
chemical?
Chlorine is the "Devil's
Element"
Chlorine has the ability to
combine with other chemicals to produce thousands of chlorine based chemicals
that many are: hazardous (harmful); toxic (deadly); carcinogenic (cancer
causing); and mutanagenic (deforms the body).
Can you afford to wait for State health agencies to rethink and restrain the
use of chlorine. ?
To have truly Premium Quality
water it is necessary to remove the toxic chemicals associated with
chlorination, prior to consumption and use of the water.
Ionetics Fresh Water Technologywill meet your needs and will remove 100% of chlorine and
other toxic chemicals from the water in your home.
