If bromine is causing some swimmers to itch badly does it need shocking or would it be better to switch to chlorine?

You would be FAR better off switching to 'chlorine'. Then, better off still by going to 'salt', rather than munual chlorination. The saline system eliminates all of the obnoxious effects of pool-chlorine (odors, skin irritations, damaged hair and bathing suits etc) while still producing chlorine, the most effective sanitizer known for pools.

What are the effects fluorocarbons have on the ozone layer?
Not all fluorocarbons contain the halogens chlorine or bromine. Only those compounds that contain chlorine or bromine can have adverse effects on ozone.Fluorocarbons are sometimes present in the ozone layer as both chloro- and bromo- fluoridated species. Of the three halogen species present (fluorine, chlorine, and bromine) only the chlorine and bromine participate in the breakdown of ozone. Due to its stability in compounds, fluorine has no known adverse impact on ozone. Bromine is from 10 to 100 times more impactful than chlorine.The process of ozone degradation is the release of chlorine or bromine from the source molecule by the action of sunlight. These free radicals convert ozone to oxygen and atomic oxygen. The atomic oxygen can free more chlorine or bromine. Because the CFC's are just a catalyst in the reaction, they can continue to deplete the ozone layer for some time.
What does ethanol do to the ozone layer?
Burning ethanol releases Carbon Dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas which is causing global warming. It has very little to do with the ozone layer, which was damaged last century by chlorine and bromine from CFCs (chlorofluorocarbons), released from aerosols and refrigeration.
Why chlorine is used in the purification of water?
Chlorine kills many disease-causing microorganisms, which is why it is added to water.

Is chlorine a cancer causing agent?
Chlorine elementally? No - that would almost be a contradiction of the nature of chlorine. But chlorine in combination with other elements (chlorine compounds of various types) are implicated in many kinds of cancers.
What happens when you react iodine with iron wool?
in this demonstration experiments iron wool is heated in the presence of chlorine gas,and the vapour of bromine and iodine.Exothermic reaction occur,causing iron wool to glow.Iron wool rust and produced coloured vapours. 2fe+I2=2FeI2
How long does chlorine stop your period?
It stops for 6you hours if not longer blood does not get on your suit the chlorine have chemical in it causing the blood to disappear
What is the chemical equation for reaction of bromine with oleic acid?
Bromine attacks triolein at three places where double bonds exist in the structure, causing saturated molecule. The equation for the reaction of triolein with bromine is C57 H104 06 + 3 Br2 --> C57 H104 06 Br6.
How does deforestation contribute to depletion of the ozone layer?
In the industrial revolution, there were no measures to check the gases that were released. SO the gases like carbon dioxide were released which led to ozone depletion.
Is there clorine in shower water?
Oh yes a lot and the vapors are causing cancer related problems. It depends on the water source. If it's water from a well it may not. Large cities will have chlorine. Where I am, in Nebraska they do not add chlorine to the water supply. Water that has been treated with chlorine will taste and often smell of chlorine.
Why chlorinate the community's water?
Chlorine is a highly efficient disinfectant and is used to kill disease-causing bacteria in our water.
