So what we're talking about here really is focusing on trichloramine really for a couple of reasons.
One, it is the chemical that has caused the greatest concern because people are familiar with it.
We all smell it, you know, that sort of thing.
And there are known human health effects.
And that's not conveniently true for most of the other volatile chemicals that are present in swimming pools.
There are.
For sure.
There are others.
Whether they're present at concentrations that should cause us concern is a different question.
And it's a complicated question.
I do.
Absolutely.
We've been doing this sort of work for, I don't know, close to 25 years.
And about five years in, I sort of made a decision because...
The pool that I was swimming in at the time, you know, I would get out of the pool and I'd be coughing and sneezing the rest of the day.
And it just wasn't all that pleasant.
So I found other ways to exercise for a couple decades.
And then maybe five years ago, I sort of stumbled back into the pool again.
And the pool that I'm swimming in now is really run very well.
And the air is not a problem.
