reacting watergives a bleaching effect to our eyes!

When you stand in a crowded pool for a long time, both redness and a stinging sensation may occur in your eyes.

Actually, that’s the first thing that comes to mind chlorine Although this is not the main reason. Because, contrary to popular belief, chlorine affects eye redness indirectly, and not directly. Chlorine is not responsible for redness of the eyes, but our body does react with it.

Body fluids work with chlorine to form compounds. Chlorine used to clean the pool can react with anything it encounters. The simplest example is that it reacts with the water in the pool and forms a kind of “bleach” It does its job.

This acid, called hypochlorous acid, neutralizes the fungi and bacteria in the pool.

Unfortunately, undesirable situations can arise in the swimming pool; this reacts with urine and sweat; chloramine It forms compounds called This chemical, which also contains derivatives such as dichloramine and trichloramine, causes a kind of irritation in our body.

Yes, this also applies to the eyes. Unfortunately, the smell we generally think is coming from the pool is chloramine. As this smell increases, we can understand that the hypochlorous acid, which neutralizes the bacteria in the pool, decreases. In this case our eyes are as one “staff!” phone conversation doing.
