And everyone else.
. But uric acid and a handful of amino acids pose the biggest threat. When each of these react with chlorine, they create are trichloraminen and cyanogen chloride. Both of these can be harmful in high enough concentrations.
Trichloramine can caused respiratory problems when inhaled, especially in folks who already suffer from problems like asthma. It also causes irritation—it’s what creates that sometimes-overwhelming pool smell, and makes your eyes burn. Cyanogen chloride is an irritant too, and can actually affect the body’s ability to use oxygen. You’re not going to get a fatal whiff of the stuff in a pool—no matter how full of pee it is—but breathing it in definitely isn’t good for you.
If everyone is peeing, why don’t we just chlorinate our pools more? Blatchley says that’s not the solution. The more chlorine you add, the more likely the chemical reactions that create those volatile compounds are to occur. Instead, he says, we should actually be working to disband this culture that it’s okay to pee in the pool.
