Sun -screen and other toxic chemicals


What's in sun tan lotions, sun-screen ,hair spray and other cosmetics used before coming to the swimming pool. There should be adebate if these chemicals should be allowed at all in our swimming water or inthe air we breathe. It would be a great consideration if we could have achemical free zone at the pool

PERFUMED PRODUCTS ARE AFFECTING HEALTH

AFTER 50 PEOPLE WASH OFF THEIR CHEMICALS INTO THE WATER SWIMMING IS LESS PLEASANT AND LESS HEALTHY-FOR SOME IT'S A HEALTH HAZARD.

Sunscreens contain amino benzoic acid and its esters (PABA), cinnamates, and oxybenzene can cause a skin rash and allergic photosensitivities. A new nitrosamineknown as NPABAO was found in certain sunscreens containing padimate-O as theactive ingredient. Nitrosamines themselves can be

Carcinogenic. Miscellaneous compounds, such as fragrances, lanolin, alcohol, andpreservatives may also cause skin and eye irritation or sensitization. Many ofthe popular ingredients in our full-spectrum sun protection products are loadedwith toxins. Avobenzone is used a lot, and some scientists have

noted that it breaks down after being on the skin for only an hour

TO WHAT EXTENT THESE CHEMICALS ARE TOXIC TO YOU


At best when you use sunscreen your body and ours are absorbing synthetic chemicals, and with "experts " recommendations to applygenerous amounts of the product every few hours, you will likely be absorbing afair amount. It is hard to believe that all of these chemicals will not haveany effect on your system or others sharing the swimming pools and facilities.

Please look for fragrance free products with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.

Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act as physical barriers that reflect UV rays are less problematic in terms of absorption.

Sunscreen and Vitamin D

Aside from the potential chemical toxicity sun screen blocks your skin's ability to make vitamin D by more than 95 percent. Foroptimal vitamin D levels regular sun exposure is the best way to achieveVitamin D creation.
