i am swimming every day in a public swimming pool for about 1 hour. i feel 
that the ventilation is poor, and creates pain in the eyes.
-is there a recorded risk for lungs due to the chlorine in the water?
-is there creation of Cl 2 gas at the breathing level (2-4 in. above 
surface)?
-does water temperature and number of swimmers play a role?
