Bathing and Showering Using Tap Water Provide

Is tap water safe for bathing and showering?
A lot of people never ask the question. It’s a great question just the same. While most of us are concerned about the quality of our drinking water, many of us take a shower in tap water every day without giving it a thought.
But two things happen when you shower:
– You run warm water all over your yourself, opening up the pores of your skin. That water penetrates into the skin and is absorbed.
– You inhale the mist of the shower water, along with the chlorine used in tap water from all municipal water supplies. You also inhale the trihalomethanes (THMs), a group of four nasty chemicals that are byproducts of chlorine use. Chlorine and all four THMs are carcinogens.
