The Ugly Truth: Pee in the Pool
Are you one of those people who love to take a dip in the pool on hot summer days? Do you pretend to know how to swim but end up standing by the edge for hours? Well, my friend, you’re not alone. But do you know what else is lurking below while you paddle around joyfully?
Yes, you guessed it right – urine. While this may seem gross and unfathomable at first glance, numerous scientific studies have proven that peeing in pools is more common than we like to think.
In this article, we will delve into the ugly truth surrounding pee in pools and why it’s important never to be complacent about this issue.
Why does everyone pee in public pools anyway?
As children or teenagers, many of us might recall being too lazy or shy to leave the poolside when nature called. It seems completely normal doing so now as adults because who has time for long bathroom trips?!
Moreover,peeing isn’t actually dangerous, is it? After all once diluted with water chemicals; no harm could come from a few drops here and there – WRONG!
While pee itself isn’t acutely harmful,it drastically changes pH levels within swimming venues; that subsequently reduces chlorine’s effectiveness against other pathogens,dangerous contaminants,& toxins.
So much then goes on behind-the scenes chemically speaking- Did you even remotely wonder w “PEE ANALYSIS” exists?-yeah ,it quietly uncovers shocking facts away from our sightline…!!!
What happens once all that yellow liquid enters our beloved pool?
Well played Albert Einstein! Turns out physics dictates molecules are spread evenly throughout liquids given enough time (gentle reminder chaotic fluids take longer);thus creating an even distribution pattern throughout any predominate body of fluid-like your Community Pool….
Let’s break down raw data numbers here:
-In an Olympic-size swimming pool aka 660,000 gallons/2.5 million litres That’s 20 galloons /76 litres of pee in the pool.
-Average peeing frequency within that time – Every 30 minutes per swimmer.
Surprisingly humans release a higher number of chemicals from urine wee so your chlorinated water filled with swimmers excreting by-products,making it relatively dangerous as if you get sick,you blame the swimming facility….
So what exactly does all that pee do?
Amidst making us feel squeamish initially, many may ask what are the dangers posed? Well once again- here comes science!
Pee contains a compound called urea. While lower levels pose no issues; however once this is mixed up with chlorine in public pools, it reacts to produce harmful disinfection byproducts(DBPs). Hence chemical imbalance takes place resulting coughing fits or stinging eye irritation-maybe even worse consequences like exacerbating symptoms for asthma patients.
Adding onto those risks alongside potential lung damage or skin infections bacterial growth rates reach an all-time high where people experience rare gastrointestinal ailments and other sometimes life-threatening conditions too..
E Coli ring any bells, anyone???
Other behaviors one should avoid while at swimming venues
Remember hearing mom say wait to eat hours after taking a swim,to refrain from getting muscle cramps….it wasn’t just though she lacked adventure but had scientific backing too….
Sadly Chlorine-eateries work exponentially faster when they interacted w/stomach enzymes when entering through this body part.It pretty much irritates and slows down these helpful enzymes eventually leading to more digestive complications……
Believe me when tell you,EVEN highly competitive world athletes aren’t immune from stomach difficulties …
We understand;this might turn off some already…Maybe stick to tanning booths now…
Conclusion:
So next time before you are tempted into letting your bladder loose during your regular dip or attempted poplar cannonball contest into the pool let sanitation rules abiding by upkeep experts handle the water better.As much as your privacy matters,however we’re in this together to make memories that won’t affect our health or modesty..
