Huh? The city warns its people not to drink the water it provides for
them? Now I've heard everything. How many people have sued for damages
I wonder. That makes about as much sense as the notion of trusting
officials we elect to represent our interests. Your explanation makes
sense. Inhalation, not skin adsorption. Yes there's a lot of water
going by and the heat helps liberate the disolved gas.

I think in the case of chlorine it is inhaled in the shower.
The amount drunk is small in most peoples case as many people prefer
bottled beverages be they juice or soda drinks.
I know in Umatilla Oregon just drinking the water is enough to cause
fluorosis. CIty water is 6ppm. They encourage pregnant women and
children not to drink the water.

Hey Kirk;
It's this last bit that has got my attention;

Poor Lester.

Now I have heard this several times over the last little while
with regard to chlorine in tap water. It doesn't make sense to me
that my body would adsorb more chlorine (or flourine or any other
toxin) from water through skin contact than by drinking it. When
I drink water the entire amount goes inside and has to be
processed before any of it comes out again. The internal linings
have evolved to be highly adsorbing and I'm guessing that it is
moreso than the skin. I'd like to see the proof about this claim.
