Although pulmonary toxicity resulting from the in-halation of chlorine gas is well known in industrial accidents and warfare (Beach et al. 1969; Hamilton and Hardy, 1974) it may not be appreciated that adverse effects may result from bathing in chlorine-sterilised pools. We describe the sudden onset of reversible air-ways obstruction in three young swimmers. They were in a party of 24 children who were training intensively for competitions. During a two-hour session in a newly opened pool many developed coughs and sore throats. Half had to leave the water prematurely as a result. The pool was treated by a new method that generates and adds chlorine dioxide to the water. This is claimed to be odourless and non-irritant. In fact the children ...
