The water in the pool smells not because of chlorine, but becaus
of... urine - a former NASA engineer found out why pools have such
pungent smel
Mark Robert conducted an experiment: he took two buckets of water wit
chlorine, left one �clean�, and added a little urine to the other
closed the lid and left it for a day
A day later he checked the buckets: the bucket that contained onl
water and chlorine did not smell of anything. But the bucket to whic
a little urine was added smelled of that same "nostalgic
pungent smell of swimming pools
This is explained by the fact that when chlorinated water and urin
come into contact, trichloramine is formed, which is the cause of th
pungent odor
I won't set foot in a swimming pool again
