By far the most cost-effective disinfectant is chlorine, which is effective against most common pathogens, including difficult organisms such as tuberculosis, fungi, and antibiotic-resistant strains of staphylococcus and enterococcus. It even has some disinfectant action against parasitic organisms. However, it has a strong odor and could kill fish and some plants. Does anybody know any studies on the effects of chlorine existing in drinking water on the health of human body?

Thanks, Sandip! Could anybody provide some case study results on this topic?
The first link is a case study on inhalation of chlorine, and the second link has summaries of several case studies of which the first is a chlorine emergency that happened here in South Carolina. Chlorine is highly dangerous to the body, and I do not recommend it for disinfection, even of the skin.
