EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURES
Pool chemical–associated health events result in >4.500
emergency department visits annually during 2008-2017 in US, as reported
by the CDC, and over one-third were children or teenagers. Irritated
eye, nose and throat symptoms, and asthma, are the most frequent
symptoms in swimmers and workers of indoor swimming-pools caused by
CBPs; particularly NCl3 causes the most irritative
symptoms13,14. A significant concentration-response
relation was found between NCl3 exposure concentrations
and irritant eye, nasal, and throat symptoms15.
