I live in Portland, Oregon and the city water here seems pretty good, good enough to drink anyway. Do I need a filtered showerhead?

Ive been wondering the same thing. I hear that hot showers allow all the stuff in your water to absorb through your skin much more easily. After I heard that was the first time I started to consider that maybe the stuff in my water shouldnt be going my skin. I dont know much about it though.

I doubt that anything significant is getting absorbed transdermally. I thought the problem was from volatile components outgassing into the air and getting into your lungs while showering. If this is really a problem, and I'm not sure it is, then swimming in a chlorinated pool must be near lethal.Ive been wondering the same thing.

If you drink it this should be the least of your problems, no?

Both times it's in your system. If it was somehow detrimental to the health of your skin/lungs I would not drink it to begin with.
