News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

From the first link:
Have you looked through the second link? It's all about EPA methods. If I felt further discussion with you might be productive I might investigate some of the citations. I just think you're accusing me of one thing and I'm saying something entirely different.
Are you suggesting chlorine is actually good for you, not that it has antibacterial properties that makes the water safer for consumption?
I'll skip the chlorine safety stuff because I asked for a study.
As far as the toxicity stuff I'm not concerned because you're still talking about concentration (see. Dilution).
If you had any tact you would understand that I'm not trying to say chlorine is unsafe for human consumption I'm saying that the goal of science isn't to determine every possible outcome of consuming it.
Anyway. You'll just have disregard me because we aren't communicating on the same level.
Tact? I've been extremely tactful you twit. You've been obtuse the the point of incredulity.
Yes, I sent a collection of EPA references. Who do you think oversaw most of the studies?
My entire point has been the toxicity issue which you seem incapable of understanding. You'll have to forgive me for invoking the chlorine issue so much, since you started this whole thing with implying I drink pool water and saying that "poison is poison" in contradiction to "dosage matters".
You still haven't answered me. If a toxic substance is toxic no matter what, "poison is poison", would you consider water to be a poison?
Clearly.
What studies? Just fucking link them.
Go on, now. Cya.
