Public & Private Pool Chemical Leaks

Unfortunately, many recreational pools in resorts and public areas do not properly maintain safe conditions and, instead, fail to provide a safe swimming environment for guests.

Our experienced trial lawyers can help you understand your legal rights, including the right to seek fair financial compensation for your resulting damages.

The Effects of Chlorine Exposure

Pools need constant upkeep and continuous treatment. Chlorine, the chemical added to eliminate impurities and prevent illnesses and outbreaks, is a necessity; however, improper use of this chemical can cause serious injuries and illnesses. If exposure is high enough, chlorine can cause chemical burns through either direct contact or chlorine gas vapors.

Severe and/or prolonged exposure to chlorine can cause:

  • Breathing issues
  • Burning in the eyes or throat
  • Skin irritation
  • Stomach issues
  • Chemical pneumonia

Chlorine is highly corrosive and can cause significant damage to a person’s skin, as well. If you suspect that you were injured due to toxic exposure to chlorine or other chemicals used to treat a public or private swimming pool, you could be entitled to financial compensation.

What Are the Symptoms of Chlorine Exposure?

In small doses, chlorine presents few risks to humans. However, high concentrations of chlorine can lead to numerous adverse effects.

Some of the most common symptoms of exposure to a dangerous concentration of chlorine include:

  • Burning pain
  • Skin blisters and redness
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Stomach pain
  • Coughing, vomiting, fever, and diarrhea
  • Eye irritation
  • Blurred vision
  • Chemical pneumonia from inhaling dangerous fumes
  • Blistering or burning sensations in the mouth or throat
  • Skin damage and injuries

Public pool owners, managers, and pool personnel are expected to closely regulate chemical levels to prevent such leaks from occurring and should be held liable for their negligence. Unfortunately, pool chemical leaks are a common occurrence. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), pool chemical leaks lead to about 4,500 emergency department visits in the United States every year.

How Does Toxic Chlorine Exposure Occur?

Unfortunately, a significant portion of swimming pool accidents are caused by improper chemical treatment handling and upkeep. In other words, the most common cause of toxic or harmful chlorine exposure is human error/negligence.

Specific examples include:

  • Using improper pool chemicals
  • Using excessive concentrations of chlorine
  • Using an insufficient amount of chemicals needed for the pool
  • Accidental ingestion of high levels of chemicals in the pool
  • Improper chemical storage by employees
  • Lack of proper employee training or supervision
  • Improper storage of harmful substances, such as chlorine
  • Failure to implement or follow safety standards
