Soap Box

The following are public health and environmental issues that Dryden Aqua are trying to combat, any support you can offer would be appreciated

1. Swimming pools

Swimming is one of the best possible exercises that you can take, and it should be encourage among all age groups.  However if the pool is not operated properly then it can be as healthy as chain smoking cigarettes, refer to New Scientist report click here or the European Respiratory Society. If you enter a swimming pool or a leisure centre and you can still smell the chlorine after 2 minutes, we recommend that you do not use the facility. The smell is not caused by chlorine but a chlorine reaction product called Trichloramine.  This chemical stings your eyes, and if it stings your eyes it will also be causing lung damage. In the case of young children under 5 years old, trichloramines strips off the protective mucous layer in the lungs and predisposes children to infection or a sensitized reaction so if the child is then subsequently exposed to a chemical, or pollen or dust mites etc, this may elicit an allergic response which can develop into asthma 10 years latter.  The infuriating aspect of all this is that we know that it has been  happening  over the last 30 years (try a Google search on asthma and swimming pools for information) and we know how to solve the problem.  Dryden Aqua in Scotland with support from the European Commission under the Life Environment initiative, solved the problem and the solution was simply to replace the sand in swimming pool sand filters with AFM media.

However the UK Health Protection Agencies, Government Depts etc etc; can not recommend that local authorities use AFM in public pools because this will be in breach of State Aid regulations which would give an unfair advantage to Dryden Aqua.  The same restrictions do not apply with agencies out-with the UK,  so we now have a daft situation that organizations in Germany, Switzerland & Spain are promoting AFM, but in the UK it would almost be against the law to advise local authorities that there is a solution to this problem.   I do not know what is happening,  however next time you visit a health centre or swimming pool, ask the pool operate the following questions;

• The free chlorine level should be below 0.5ppm,  if it is higher do not use the pool
• The combined chlorine level must be less than 0.2ppm,  if it is higher do not use the pool
• The THM  level must be below 20 ppb, don't bother asking them because they will not know, however asked them if they use Ultra Violet disinfection, if the reply is yes then don't use the pool, because UVc light generates THM`s ( TriHaloMethane = chloroform) which is carcinogenic.
• The water should have a blue colour, and in a 25m pool you should be able to see clearly to the other end of the pool underweater, if you cant see through the water there is a problem
• If you can still smell the chlorine reaction products after 2 minutes do not enter the water
• If  your eyes sting, then leave the pool.

At Dryden Aqua we care about the environment, aquatic animals and the public and are doing our best to solve some of the problems,  if you would like more information check our web sites at www.AFM.eu www.Ozone.co.uk and www.DrydenAqua.com
