A Lifelong Exploration into Chlorine Dioxide  In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, Trace Blackmore welcomes Greg D. Simpson, a recognized authority on chlorine dioxide and a long-time researcher, writer, and technologist in the industrial water treatment space. With decades of hands-on experience and a personal archive of thousands of technical papers, Greg brings unmatched depth to this essential conversation.    From Field Trials to File Cabinets   Greg takes us through his early career, from being tasked to explore chlorine dioxide as an alternative disinfectant on the Gulf Coast to becoming a dedicated advocate of its power and versatility. He explains why chlorine dioxide often outperforms traditional biocides like bromine and chlorine, especially in complex environments such as refineries, hospitals, and cooling towers.   Comparing Monochloramine and Chlorine Dioxide   A central theme in the episode is Greg's recent research comparing monochloramine and chlorine dioxide. He shares real-world case histories, including treatments at major institutions and breaks performance differences in terms of biofilm penetration, disinfection byproducts, and residual impact. He also discusses regulatory hurdles, competitive dynamics, and what the literature says about long-term microbiological effects.   Building Disinfection Systems and Emerging Applications   The episode explores chlorine dioxide's expanding role in building disinfection, especially healthcare facilities. Greg shares how generator technologies are changing the game, while also diving into regulatory constraints in places like Texas. He further explains the promising potential of chlorine dioxide in air disinfection and surface sanitation, drawing from both studies and practical implementations.    A Legacy of Learning   From assembling four filing cabinets of technical papers to writing multiple books and collaborating with other industry pioneers, Greg's story is one of relentless inquiry. His work continues to influence how the industry thinks about safe and effective disinfection strategies.   Conclusion   Greg Simpson's insights go far beyond operational know-how.

Send us a textThis week on The Less Stressed Life Podcast, I'm answering two listener questions around childhood eczema—when it flares from pool exposure and when gut healing alone isn't enough. If you've been navigating eczema with your child (or yourself) and feel like you've hit a wall despite diet changes and supplements, this one's for you.In this episode, I break down the different types of eczema and how they react to things like chlorine, chemical sensitivity, and gut imbalances. I also share what clues to look for (like how symptoms show up after swimming or starting solids) and why doing things in the right order can make all the difference.❓Got your own question for Christa?

The first member of Donald Trump's cabinet to visit the UK is Brooke Rollins, his Agriculture Secretary. Secretary Rollins told journalists the 'historic' trade deal would create billions of dollars in opportunity for U.S. export markets and more choice for British consumers. She also described their notorious 'chlorinated chicken' as a myth. Is it? We look for some clarity. MPs have written to the Government calling for a year's delay to the inheritance tax changes on farms. It's agricultural show season. This week we visit the Balmoral Show in Northern Ireland.Presented by Caz Graham and produced by Beatrice Fenton.

So-called ‘chlorinated chicken' has been a major sticking point in US-UK trade talks, one of the red lines British farmers say the Government cannot cross. But US Agriculture Secretary, Brooke Rollins, says we've got the wrong end of the stick about how their chicken is produced nowadays. So is chlorine washed chicken merely a “myth to dispel”? We look for some clarity.It's been obligatory to keep all poultry and captive birds indoors in some parts of England under the Government's mandatory housing restriction order to help prevent the spread of bird flu. That order has been lifted this morning because the risk of avian flu has reduced.As part of our week looking at grass, today we visit a turf farm. There's a big market for turf from gardeners, golf courses and for sports pitches and parks, and it's not just for the pristine tightly-mown grass, you can even buy specialist turfs for green roofs, and species-rich and wild-flower turfs too. The Government's Farming in Protected Landscapes programme has funded river re-wiggling, school visits to farms and even the creation of Lake District tweed since it began in 2021, and now it's making life easier for rock climbers with disabilities in the Peak District.

W/C 7th April 2025As it turns out a Saltwater swimming pool does (in point of fact) still contain Chlorine.Not an opening sentence I thought I would ever use for a slice of TFM, but the experiences of the week have brought me here, and after all that is what this is all about.I have been informed by Goggle AI that 'a saltwater swimming pool utilises a salt chlorine generator to produce chlorine from salt, offering a less harsh alternative to traditional chlorine pools. While it doesn't eliminate chlorine entirely, the generator creates a smaller amount, making the water feel softer and potentially gentler on skin and eyes.' None of which I knew.The thing that it doesn't explain is the sensation of increased buoyancy that you feel when just floating on your back. None of the 'advantages of' lists I have read has it down as a feature or a benefit, which leads me to the conclusion that I have probably just imagined it. The power of the mind, eh.Stay safe.Saltwater - Chicane (ft. Moya Brennan)

Story at-a-glance Conventional chicken is often soaked in chemical baths, including chlorine solutions, to reduce bacterial contamination — a practice banned in the European Union since 1997. Chlorine-washed chicken may absorb chemical residues through its porous muscle tissue, which raises safety concerns U.S. regulations do not require processors to disclose the use of chemical washes or antimicrobial treatments on chicken packaging, keeping consumers unaware of what their food has been exposed to Industrial chicken processing prioritizes speed over hygiene, with some facilities handling up to 2 million chickens daily, creating conditions that require chemical interventions to compensate for poor sanitation Many conventional chickens are injected with water, salt, and phosphates to increase their weight by up to 15%, meaning consumers are paying for added liquid rather than actual meat Choosing pasture-raised, naturally processed chicken supports humane farming, cleaner processing practices, and higher-quality nutrition while reducing reliance on chemical interventions

Mark, being a missionary abroad, started helping as many people as he could with his discovery. He and his three sons ended up in jail after years of successfully helping others to learn how to use chlorine dioxide. Mark and one of his son’s just got out of jail but two of his sons are still in jail and they need our support to be free. Mark has written a few books and they also have a donation page that we have linked below. In this episode we will cover the amazing benefits Mark has witnessed over the years with Chlorine Dioxide and as well as he and his sons' plight to be free. Enjoy the show!

Text Rudy Now!In this Friday episode of Talking Pools Podcast, Rudy Stankowitz takes listeners through two important aspects of pool care that may seem unrelated but are essential to running a high-quality pool service business: advanced oxidation processes (AOP) and brand building.Rudy begins with a deep dive into AOP, focusing on oxidative stress and radical scavenging as powerful sanitation tools. He highlights the role of hydroxyl radicals—microscopic but mighty cleaners that break down contaminants at a molecular level. Using UV light, hydrogen peroxide, or ozone, these radicals go beyond traditional chlorine, disassembling pollutants in pools, resulting in water purity that chlorine alone can't achieve. Rudy explains the science behind AOP, positioning it as an advanced, premium offering that pool service pros can leverage to stand out in their markets.Then, he transitions to brand building, offering insightful advice on creating a memorable and enduring pool service brand. Rudy covers strategies for leaving a lasting impression on clients, from consistent, high-quality interactions to innovative loyalty programs, effective review management, and community engagement. He emphasizes that premium service, customer satisfaction, and transparent communication are the foundations of a sustainable, successful business.With Rudy's blend of humor and expertise, this episode provides pool pros with actionable insights into harnessing cutting-edge technology and refining their brand, ultimately offering clients a service experience that's both scientifically advanced and reliably exceptional.

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend! I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Laura: Hi, I know we've mentioned the Glucose Goddess before but I've had lots of people telling me that her information is real, they've been checking their glucose spikes after meals and since she suggests fruit should be eaten after a meal because it's sugar, I feel confused about when and how to eat fruit yet again.. I'm aware that it digests faster so it should be eaten before a meal so it doesn't ferment other food in the stomach which causes bloating, but I would like to get proper suggestions on how to eat fruit bc I do eat a lot of it, especially in the summer. When to eat an apple? When would you eat watermelon? Also, are savoury breakfasts ok&which? I can't use DNS so I don't think smoothies are the best option for me&I've been advised to eat protein for breakfast to balance hormones?     Marlyse: Thank you for all the work you do. Work I read your book about 1-1/2 years ago I was very encouraged when I read that anything can be healed. I think I've gone through every applicable lab and detox/protocol you have except for fatlosity. I did the labs and protocols to get help heal myself from eczema, IBS and a chronic cough I've had for 8-1/2 years. I'm so frustrated because I still have IBS and a chronic cough. I really can't say they are any better than they were. The eczema is the only thing I can say that has gotten better. I was so hopeful and now I don't know where to go from here. I just finished the mold protocol which is the last one on the list to do. I'll be doing another 7 day functional detox with the group in September.     Missy: My husband blew out his bursa sack on his left knee. After several appointments it is now down to surgery or learn to live with the pain. He's an independent remodel contractor so using his knee is a constant whether doing flooring, tile, ladders, or steps. What can you recommend for a condition like this, dealing with the pain, planning for surgery? Any knee braces that would help before or after surgery? I'm sure you can help because of your trainer background and overall knowledge!     Panagiota: Hello, first of all, I would like to thank you for all the information that you put out for our health! I have been a listener of your podcast for the past 6 years!! Learn so much and you have help me so much with testing and supplements! I trust your advice! My question is about chlorine in the pool. I love to swim three times a week. I love to swim in the ocean in the summers when I go home to Greece. And I use the pool at my local fitness club here in the United States for the rest of the year. What is the best way to protect and Remove the chlorine from my body Externally and internally. I know chlorine gets absorbed through the skin and through Inhaling it. Any advice will be greatly appreciated! Thank you so muchT Panagiota (Pana)     Laura: Hi doctor Cabral, My Chinese medicine practicioner advised me to reduce dampness in my body, but I really love green juices and smoothie bowls—they're essential for getting my nutrients. Is there any way to incorporate them while still combating dampness? Thanks so much!

SummaryIn this episode, Jason and Mindy dive into the controversial topic of whether swimming in a pool can be considered a substitute for bathing. They discuss public perceptions, personal hygiene practices, and the science behind pool cleanliness. The conversation also touches on the importance of proper hygiene after swimming, the effects of chlorine, and the etiquette surrounding pool use. Additionally, they explore personal spending habits in a light-hearted segment about what one would do with an extra $100 each week.Linkshttps://www.breakfromthegrind.com/Visit our Stores: https://www.redbubble.com/people/bftg/shophttps://www.teepublic.com/stores/lowtreestudiosVideo https://rumble.com/c/c-6686850https://www.youtube.com/@breakfromthegrindhttps://www.youtube.com/@BFTG-Inspiration DetailsThe idea of using a pool as a substitute for bathing might seem appealing on a hot summer day, but is it actually effective? Let's dive into the science and see why swimming in a pool might not be enough to keep you clean.Chlorine and BacteriaWhile chlorine is a powerful disinfectant that helps keep pool water clean, it doesn't eliminate all bacteria. Some bacteria, particularly those that are resistant to chlorine, can still thrive in pool water. These bacteria can transfer to your skin and cause infections.Body Oils and SweatSwimming can actually increase the amount of body oils and sweat on your skin. These substances can mix with the chlorine in the pool water, creating a breeding ground for bacteria.Soap and ScrubbingTo effectively remove dirt, sweat, and bacteria from your skin, you need to use soap and scrub. Swimming alone doesn't provide the same level of cleaning as a shower or bath.Sun ExposureSpending extended periods of time in the sun can lead to sunburn and skin damage. While a quick dip in the pool can provide temporary relief from the heat, it's important to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays.Pee in the poolConclusionWhile swimming in a pool can be a refreshing way to cool off on a hot day, it's not a substitute for regular bathing. To ensure your personal hygiene, it's important to shower or bathe regularly, even after swimming. Additionally, protecting your skin from the sun is essential for maintaining good health.#pool, #hygiene, #bathing, #swimming, #personalcare, #chlorine, #publicpools, #sun, #swimming, #etiquette, #health

Send us a textIn this episode, Rudy Stankowitz blends education and humor as he breaks down the kinetics of chlorine decomposition in outdoor pools. He explains how UV radiation and heat degrade chlorine and dives into sustainable alternatives for pool maintenance, offering practical tips for eco-friendly operations.Key Topics:Chlorine Decomposition (00:03):HOCl vs. OCl-: Rudy introduces the main chlorine species that sanitize pool water—hypochlorous acid (HOCl) and hypochlorite ions (OCl-).UV Radiation: Sunlight, especially UV rays, speeds up chlorine decomposition, making outdoor pools lose chlorine faster. Rudy humorously compares this to an "overexposed vampire at a beach party."Thermal Decomposition: Heat also accelerates the breakdown of chlorine, particularly in warm water, where it evaporates faster, leading to quicker degradation.Radicals: As chlorine decomposes, it forms radicals that react unpredictably in pool water, which Rudy calls "the chemical version of a bad breakup—destructive and occasionally flammable."Saving Chlorine (10:15):Cyanuric Acid (CYA): Rudy explains how cyanuric acid acts like sunscreen for chlorine, protecting it from UV rays and extending its lifespan in outdoor pools.Eco-Friendly Pool Service (28:38):Enzymes: Rudy introduces enzymes as natural cleaners that break down oils and lotions in pool water, reducing the need for chlorine. Minerals: The use of silver, copper, and zinc ions in pool treatment helps reduce chlorine reliance, creating a greener, cleaner pool environment without harsh chemicals.Oxygen-Based Shocks: Rudy highlights oxygen-based shocks as a gentler alternative to chlorine, humorously describing them as "hooligans bashing contaminants and running away laughing."Water Conservation (38:20):Reducing Water Waste: Rudy discusses methods to conserve water, including leak detection, using pool covers, and harvesting rainwater. Green Technologies for Pools (42:00):Variable Speed Pumps: These pumps, now mandated by law, are energy-efficient and reduce operational costs.Cartridge Filters: While cartridge filters require more maintenance, they conserve water by eliminating the need for backwashing.LED Pool Lighting: LED lighting is an eco-friendly replacement for incandescent bulbs, offering significant energy savings.Marketing Eco-Friendly Services (50:00):Rudy emphasizes the importance of marketing green practices to eco-conscious clients, who are willing to pay more for environmentally friendly pool services. He encourages promoting the use of enzymes, phosphate removers, and rainwater harvesting systems to stand out in the competitive pool market.Conclusion (55:00):Rudy wraps up by stressing the importance of sustainability in pool service, urging professionals to adopt eco-friendly practices and communicate their efforts to clients. Resources Mentioned:Enzyme-based treatments (Jack's Magic)Phosphate removers (Jack's Magic)Mineral-based products (Blu-ray XL)Variable speed pumps (DOE regulations)Cartridge Filters (AquaStar Support the showThank you so much for listening!
