Does chlorine affect asthma in the long term?

Asthma and Chlorine

The relationship between asthma and chlorine is more significant over the long term. Some studies have shown that career swimmers have a much higher rate of asthma than the general population. This means that large amounts of exposure to chlorine over time may actually cause people to develop asthma. Fortunately, these effects are reversible. Those with chlorine-induced asthma will notice an improvement after reducing their exposure to chlorine.
