I agree. Chlorine is responsible for 80% of our chemical pollution problems
and is probably involved in envrionmental disease and a number of other
health problems. Banning its use would vastly simplify our toxic
contamination problems all over the world. Trouble is there is a very
powerful chlorine industry lobby in DC called the Chlorine Institute.
America's most conservative public health organization has called for a ban
on almost all of Cl's industrial uses.

Ozone and other oxygen treatment methods are a perfectly viable alternative
that should be explored. Thank you for pointing this out, Beth.
