"THERE ARE NO SHOWER FILTERS on the market that completely remove chloramine. There are, however, whole house water filters that remove chlorine, chloramine, and other contaminants." RO filters and activated charcoal filters for whole house use are a good start. http://lnkd.in/dfCzHFh View in LinkedIn

BATHWATER NEUTRALIZATION. "Both chlorine and chloramine can be removed for bathing purposes by dissolving Vitamin C in the bath water. One 1000 mg Vitamin C tablet will neutralize chloramine in an average bathtub." Perfect for single use applications. http://lnkd.in/dfCzHFh View in LinkedIn

EPA ON WATER PURIFICATION GUIDELINES, which are voluntary. EPA acknowledges that today, the vast majority (63-67%) of surface water plants still use chlorine. This is an incomplete (no biological methods) but valuable summary. http://lnkd.in/d46ur_y View in LinkedIn

REMOVAL of chlorine, chloramine and volatile organics from your water is possible by a variety if methods according to the desired use of the water. The following few entries gives some useful resources on how to do this. View in LinkedIn

ALTERNATIVE WATER PURIFICATION METHODS. This is a thorough review of the pros and cons of most of the various alternative water purification methods available today. http://lnkd.in/dccvzXh View in LinkedIn

STEAM ROOMS as a source of inhaled water purification byproducts should be added to the list of things to consider when weighing a healthy life. Curiously there is very little literature on this subject, but extrapolating from that on shower steam, the answer is obvious. View in LinkedIn

ALTERNATIVES TO CHLORINATED DRINKING WATER are presented in thIs report, which include costs of converting from traditional treatments to a new or combination process. Some are in the eccentric side, at the very least. http://www.waterandhealth.org/drinkingwater/wp.html View in LinkedIn

SHOWER EXPOSURE to volatile organic compounds. "The chloroform dose to an individual from showering was determined based on exhaled breath analysis. The postexposure chloroform breath concentration ranged from 6.0-21 μg/m-3 while all corresponding background breath concentrations were less than 0.86 μg/m-3." http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1539-6924.1990.tb00542.x/abstract View in LinkedIn

WATER SYSTEM MANAGERS have the discretionary power to make complicated decisions about the public water supply in their district without consultations with the stakeholders, nor regulatory agencies. This is a rather remarkable situation. View in LinkedIn

SHOWER EXPOSURE TO TOXINS. "Traditional risk assessments for water often only consider ingestion exposure to toxic chemicals, even though showering has been shown to increase the body burden of certain chemicals due to inhalation exposure and dermal absorption." Strong peer reviewed references supporting chlorinated water's steam toxicity. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1469238/ View in LinkedIn
