CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) made public the study about public pools, they checked plenty of public pools across the country and the results are quite bad. They found that 12,5% of pools are totally unsafe to use.
This information comes handy as summer comes and more people are in danger. We alweays knew that pools are a bit unsafe but people usually dismiss this fact. This time CDC already took action and closed 12% of public pools already. The biggest problem was in kids pools where chlorination was improper and in water fecal traces was found, this is highly unsafe as kids drinks from that water many times. Chlorine
levels are low as urine is lowering chlorine as it contains nitrogen what lowers it. Chlorine is very important when it comes to infections, it kills bacteria and have other important role in keeping pools safe.
CDC is taking action, as this is very important and pools causes 90% of summer infections. If you want to stay safe choose expensive places as they have better pools and highly monitored pools.
