Long ago my doctor ordered no swimming pools for me and mine. How come? Because the water is recycled, not changed. It is filtered and re-chlorinated, but not changed. So what?
Synthetic hormones do not break down very fast. As women on the Pill whiz in swimming pools, the concentrations of estrogen and other female hormones get quite high. The filters cannot filter out the hormones. The danger to girls, boys, men and women is there, how high just depends on how many women on the pill, how long the water has been there, etc. Although they can test for estrogens, etc, no scientific study of water quality has been funded that will test for estrogens. (In spite of the fact the two-headed frogs, etc, are likely the result of just this pollutant).
This is the first time I have ever seen the birth control pollutant mentioned. An excellent new product would be to make a female hormone test kit for pools. then we can know.
