What kind of microbes inhabit the pools?
Source:swimming Pools useful, but at the same time dangerous for health
Most of Russia's population lives in cities. But not every metropolis or a small cozy town on a hot day or the river. But swimming is good for health. And what about those who can not imagine my life without swimming? One solution is to go to the pool, the benefit of their cities rife. Doctors recommend to visit the pool at least once a week. Swimming is the prevention of many diseases, moreover, it relieves emotional stress, greatly reducing the stress levels. And yet, scientists warn — the swimming pool can be dangerous for health. But why?
So you go swimming in one of the public pools close by. Note that for your and public safety before going to the pool you need to see a doctor to check your health condition and confirm the absence of fungal diseases (in case, if there is any, to return to the pool after treatment). Get help, you can safely go swimming.
Risk pool, in which you go
The Water in the pool, as is known, chlorinated. And scientists still have no consensus on how safe may be the best in the water. Some experts say that chlorinated water contributes to the development of bladder cancer and causes lung disease. Others refute these allegations, calling them groundless. So who is right?
Most scientific discoveries are still being made thanks to the lab rats
To dot the "I", an experiment was conducted. In the role of Guinea were made by rats. Rodents were divided into two groups — some for three months for a long time swam in chlorinated water and the other in the not chlorinated. The results were not long in coming. Rats that swam in water with added bleach, and skin. During the experiment, some animals began to fall coat. Needless to say that rats that swam in unchlorinated water, nothing like that happened.
I really hope that nothing terrible-prolonged exposure to chlorinated water occurs. In fact, swimming is recommended no more than 30 minutes per visit. Twice a week I do and like a sea monster not yet evolved.
What are the microbes living in the pools?
Well, good to your skin is not reddened, and his hair began to fall out, stay in chlorinated water is reduced to 30 minutes a day. As you know, chlorine is added to destroy all the germs present in public pools. And yet, despite the turquoise color of the water and various disinfectants, other than you swim in the pool can enjoy and even microbes.
When bathing viruses and bacteria enter the mucous membranes and skin of swimmers. Among the most common microbes — adenoviruses that cause conjunctivitis and pharyngitis. According to the world health organization, basking in unscrupulous cleaned the pool you can get sick with diarrhea and colitis. And still have picked up a parasite named Giardia intestinalis — thanks to his efforts, you may experience cramps, diarrhea, and nausea.
Bacteria Giardia intestinalis under the microscope
What about a heated pool? Alas, when the water is hot, such as in a Jacuzzi or Spa, there is a risk of propagation of various types of bacteria, for example , which cause otitis media, or of the genus Mycobacterium that cause pneumonia.
is it Safe pools for your health?
And yet, all of these is not a reason to deny myself the pleasure to swim. A variety of germs in most cases die from exposure to chlorine or bromine and at maintaining an appropriate level of hydrogen ion exponent (pH). Easy access to the pool and nothing to worry about, you need to ensure that the processing of tubes and maintaining the proper amount of disinfectant in your pool meets all the necessary requirements.
In Summer, all the pools go on break, which lasts on average two months. During this time, flush the pipes, equipment checks and if necessary repairs carried out. Swimming season comes with the onset of autumn, so if you are sure that your pool is cleaned in good faith, to not worry.
