However, the ＂chlorine smell＂ in swimming pools may be a turn-off for some people. Although this smell is often thought to be of chlorine, it actually comes from volatile compounds that are produced from unintended reactions between disinfectants （e.g., chlorine） and organic matter in the water （Li and Blatchley, 2007; Zwiener et al., 2007; Schmalz et al., 2011; Daiber et al., 2016）. Body fluids, such as sweat and urine, are among the sources of this organic matter that contribute to the formation of disinfection byproducts （DBPs） （Richardson et al., 2007; Arnaud, 2016; Tang et al., 2016）.展开更多
