And a whole bunch of other illnesses (eg dysentery , typhoid
fever and some forms of hepatitis). More lives have been
saved and general life expectancy increased by chlorinated
water than any other medical advance in the history of
mankind, according to some article I read a few years ago.
I'll try to find a cite if anyone wants to challenge that
statement!! Chlorination isn't perfect, but it sure beats
untreated water.
