Swimming in an improperly chlorinated pool can cause many health problems including different types of cancer, genetic mutation, and neurological and gastrointestinal disorders, Dr Mohammadreza Nazer, an infectious disease specialist has warned. “Adding too much chlorine to pool water won’t prevent fungal infections,” Alef News Agency quoted him as saying. Stating that a healthy chlorinated pool emits a light chemical smell, he urged people to avoid swimming pools that emit a strong odor. “People can report violations by calling the health hotline line 190.”
