Common beauty products can become toxic ?

Chippp · 04-16-2002, 03:50 PM

I just saw a news report that common beauty products , a lot or most contain organic substances, when exposed to clorine gas from swimming pools reacts with some of the organics in beauty products and produces toxins.

We should keep a eye on this story...good idea to remove such things with a shower before swinming as most do and to not sit around a pool with moisturizors or other skin products on.

It will be interesting to see if sunscreens produce toxins when exposed to clorine gas, I would say some do as well.

It is when the products are exposed to CHLORINE GAS??? or the chorine that is in solution in your pool??

If you had chlorine gas in your backyard, you'd be dead.

CHip, are you saying if I wear Clinique facial products and jump into a swimming pool, I might blow up? Please elaborate or give us a link so we may interpret for ourselves. You certainly have our attention.

it was on tv so i cant post a link , it was on the news,,, it just said that the clorine used in pools , and yes anyone can easily smell it around swimming pools, off gases and that when clorine gas or clorine comes into contact with other chemicals or substances, chemical changes can and will take place!
It seems that the organic substances break down or have chemical changes that can produce toxins.

clorine gas if formed by green house gases as well and is resonsible for ozone damage in our atmosphere.

It is simple chemical changes that take place when 2 or more chemicals or substances combine.
