Dangers of chlorine

Hi everyone! I'm just posting this article I put up at Health Matters on NDN. Hope it is informative enough (or should it be on Academic research?)

Chlorine has been used for years to disinfect our water and protect us from dangerous bacterial diseases, but recent studies suggest that chlorine and its byproducts could also
harm our health. Below, read more about chlorine and filters
that can help protect you:

Using a filter for your tap water helps filter out chlorine, but new evidence suggests that your body absorbs as much or more chlorine byproducts during your daily shower as it does from drinking unfiltered tap water. (1)

Fast Facts:
* This May, the University of North Carolina found that chlorine byproducts increase significantly in the bloodstream after showering. (1)

* Research has linked chlorine byproducts to an increased cancer risk and reproductive problems like miscarriage. (2) (3)

* Environmental Working Group announced in January that pregnant women should consider taking shorter showers and use chlorine-trapping filters for their water to help decrease their risk of miscarriage and birth defects. (4)

* Chlorine attacks natural oils of the skin and bonds with hair protein to make your hair difficult to manage. It also can cause itching, blotches, rashes, and other irritations.

Decrease Your Risk: Get a Chlorine Reducing Shower Filter!
We asked our in-house expert Annie B. Bond what she tells her friends and family to do to reduce their chlorine exposure, and she recommended water filters for drinking water, baths, and
showers. (Of course, she points out, people using well water should get their water tested regularly, but don't need to filter out chlorine!)
