There are a variety of disease-causing microorganisms that are a concern in s=

intestinal diseases; respiratory diseases; and eye, ear and skin infections=

Microorganisms that can cause intestinal diseases include Shigellosis, E. Co=

Chlorine is used in swimming pools to kill bacteria and other microorganisms that could cause infections or illnesses. It acts as a disinfectant by breaking down biological contaminants in the water.

Swimming pools are chlorinated (have Cl2 added to it) and filtered to decrease bacteria and dirt content.

to sterilise (kills bacteria) water, eg. in swimming pools and in water treatment. Also in the manufacture of PVC.
if you get strep throat then you probably swallowed the strep throat bacteria
