Chlorine's Job

Pool party

ShutterstockUrine, not chlorine, causes eyes to burn and turn red while swimming.

Anyone thinking chlorine's job is to clean their personal pee from a swimming pool, should know that chlorine can't even begin to deal with your pee. Its plate is full with E. coli and other germs. Once people start adding pee, poop, sweat, and dirt to the equation, it starts to try to tackle those instead, leaving it with little energy for anything else, says Hlavsa.
