Code
The owner/operator shall ensure that a public information and health messaging program to inform INDOOR AQUATIC FACILITY PATRONS of their impact on INDOOR AQUATIC FACILITY air quality is developed and implemented.
Annex
The MAHC felt strongly that public education and health communication with users should be required at any INDOOR AQUATIC FACILITY. This messaging should make clear the responsibility of the user to shower before entering the POOL and that they should not urinate in the POOL. It is known that urine and sweat contribute nitrogen to the POOL resulting in chloramines. By actively limiting the introduction of urine and sweat, the result should be fewer chloramines in the POOL and the air. A summary of health and exposure data can be found in MAHC Appendix 1: Summary of Health and Exposure Data for Chemical and Biological Contaminants.
