Trihalomethanes (THMs) are a by-product of chlorination.
|
Trihalomethanes are a group of toxic carcinogens created when Chlorine reacts with organic matter in water. When this matter decays, Trihalomethanes are formed. |
Trihalomethanes include chemicals such as chloroform, bromoform and dichlorobromethane.
Even in small amounts, Trihalomethanes are all very carcinogenic. |

Cancer risk among people drinking Chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher... |

"Chlorine is so dangerous it should be banned. Putting Chlorine in the water supplies is like starting a time bomb. Cancer, heart trouble, premature senility; both mental and physical, are conditions attributable to Chlorine treated water supplies. It is making us grow old before our time by producing symptoms of aging such as hardening of the arteries" |

"Chlorine is the greatest crippler and killer of modern times. It is an insidious poison. While it prevented epidemics of one disease, it was creating another. Two decades after the start of Chlorinating our drinking water [1904], the present epidemic of |
| heart trouble, cancer and senility began." |
- Dr Joseph M Price |

"Cancer risk among people drinking Chlorinated water is as much as 93% higher than among those whose water does not |
| contain Chlorine." |

"Tap water can cause birth defects and miscarriages. Government experts have warned water companies to place limits on levels of chlorine used in supplies of tap water after fears were raised that high levels are linked to birth defects and miscarriages." |

"Chlorine which is used to disinfect tap water can contribute to an increased risk of having a stillborn baby, researchers have said. |
|
The chance is up to 21 per cent greater where pregnant women are drinking and washing in water laced with by-products of the |
| chemical." |

| water." |
- Medical College Of Wisconsin Research Team |
| |
| "We have known for a long time that Chloramines can trigger, rather than cause asthma. |
- Ralph Riley, head of the National Pool Water Treatment Advisory Group |
| |
| "Scientists discovered that Chlorine reacted with organic material in water to produce hundreds of chemical by-products, several of which have proved in animal studies to be carcinogenic." |
- U.S. News & World Report- July 29, 1991 |

| "If chlorine were now proposed for the first time to be used in drinking water, it would be banned." |
