Most Americans - up to 80 percent - drink water that has chlorine in it. While many people now use water filters in conjunction with their faucets for drinking water, many do not consider the amount of chlorine absorbed through a shower. Skin absorbs water; if that water is chlorinated, some chlorine is absorbed as well. To combat the effects of chlorinated water (which may include an increased risk of cancer and reproductive problems), purchase a water filter for your showerhead. Carbon-based filters and KDF filters made of copper and zinc both help to remove chlorine.
