Chlorine isn’t good for animals or humans, but there’s a greater risk presented by backyard pools. Plus, mess of empty snail shells point to several suspects, who’s the guilty one…
I notice that a variety of animals and birds drink from my swimming pool. Does the chlorine cause a problem for them? Do they have an instinctive reaction against drinking tainted water?Lyn Arscott, DanvilleLike a lot of things in life, it comes down to individuals doing what they can, which will collectively make a huge difference.
In the case of pool water, birds might be the most affected by chlorine, especially ducks and geese. As well as the toxicity factor, chlorine can irritate their skin. The greater danger these animals face is not the chlorine in the water, but the water itself. A good many fall in while trying to bend down to get a drink, and as most pools have tiled or plastered sides as well as a lip that extends over the side of the pool, climbing out is not easily managed.
