Understand Skin Absorption & Inhalation Risks (Demonstration)

Our Water has Been CONTAMINATED! 4K
What happens here
To underscore the importance of filtering all household water, the presenter shows an external video demonstrating how quickly chemicals are absorbed through the skin. In this video, a person submerges their hand in a glass of tap water for a short period, then a chlorine test kit is applied. The water their hand was in shows no chlorine (because it was absorbed), while a control glass of tap water reacts to the test kit, turning yellow, indicating the presence of chlorine. The presenter further explains that chemicals are not only absorbed through the skin when showering or washing but can also be inhaled through the vapor from hot, steamy showers, directly entering the lungs. This highlights that simply avoiding drinking tap water is insufficient for full protection.
Goal: Visually confirm how easily contaminants are absorbed through the skin and inhaled through water vapor.
