#Chlorination of drinking water is statistically associated with #cancer (bladder, colorectal). On the other hand it has reduced waterborne infections. Fortunately, there are ways out of this dilemma. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/feb/17/water-chlorination-cancer-risk-us-eu
Water chlorination levels in US and EU likely increase cancer risk, study finds

Bladder cancer risk increased 33% and colorectal cancer by 15% in using chlorine to disinfect water

@Daniel_Hoffmann Thanks for boosting this @TalktoBeverley
Oddly I was only wondering a few days ago, whether there could be a link between my chlorine sensitivity and other illnesses. I can't go anywhere near a chlorinated swimming pool anymore. I do wonder whether drinking water chlorination might cause other conditions too.

@LJClements8

Oh, I do hope it helps solve a few issues for you Lee, though obviously I'm sorry you have these conditions.

I can't quite recall how I came across @Daniel_Hoffmann but definitely worth a 'follow'. I think someone else I follow boosted something of his...

Wishing you well.

@TalktoBeverley @Daniel_Hoffmann Getting the NHS to take things like this seriously is always a challenge. If it doesn't give you anaphylactic shock, they rarely want to investigate further. I don't get the distinction they make between allergies and sensitivities, both cause unpleasant symptoms/reactions that can often be quite disabling.

@LJClements8

So because of my family member, I understand your difficulties to some extent... I'm so sorry.
