Atmospheric exposure to chloramines in indoor swimming pools
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Swimming pools constitute a particular environment where volatile by-products generated by chlorination of water [1] can depreciate the air quality. Chloramines are dominant air pollutants whose irritant effects are well-known. Atmospheric high levels affect the comfort of users and can cause harmful health effects particularly for workers chronically exposed [2]. Last few years consciousness of the authorities and facilities owners has raised; a better quality of the swimming pools environment is whished. Consequently, preliminary investigations were undertaken in a set of public Parisian covered swimming pools. The objectives were to assess atmospheric chloramines levels and to evaluate the influence of the main factors related to facilities management.
