..mistakenly added 160 liters of hydrogen peroxide on Aug. 5, neutralizing the chlorine and allowing the growth of “organic compounds” that might have included algae.Sheesh, how many of us haven't made the same mistake in our bath tubs?
Anyone?

I want to say the Rio is a cesspool of human waste. I have never seen such sub human existence. Leave with all dispatch.

Why would they have even had 160 liters of hydrogen peroxide in that area? Do it have some use in pool maintenance?

Well, I don’t like to admit it, but I do this every time I take a bath, so it’s yearly.

Put some chlorine in that pool.
But we’re out of chlorine. All we have is H2O2.
Just re-label it. I’m sure it wanted to be chlorine in the first place.

What’s the over/under on the post-Olympic cover up concerning serious ill athletes all across the GLOBE?
I’m betting the MINUTE the last race/trial is run, NBC will NEVER speak of this Olympics again!

I can’t ever recall using hydrogen peroxide in pool maintenance.
I had an inground pool for 16 years and did my own maintenance.

Makes no sense. H202 would not neutralize chlorine.

I tried it once. You know. To bleach my back hair. I think the ratio was incorrect.

Hydrogen peroxide is an excellent disinfectant.
The brazil-nuts should maintain the h2o2 pool for treating other water sports contestants...

This explanation is BULLSH!T.
Total stupid idiocy. The media is as knowledgeable of water chemistry as they are of guns.
This is such a stupid explanation I have to think it’s some kind of coverup.

No. Someone PUT a contaminant in the water. Deliberately. No question about it.
Maybe a prankster. Maybe worse.
It is easy to determine what the contaminant is.
They should pump out the pool, thoroughly clean it, and pump in fresh water.
And put a guard on the pools.

Sure, sure, too many times to count. My biggest flubs in the tub were when I was attempting cold fusion.

That’s the bad news. The good news is that the entire group of swimmers is now blonde, right down to the collars and cuffs.
