An excess of chlorine in the water was registered in the regions of Russia - against this background, the demand for shower filters increased by 17% since the beginning of the year.
According to the base, the Omsk region suffers the most from high water chlorination. The highest chlorine content was found in a sample taken at a pumping station that supplies water to the municipal network. The indicator was almost 4 times higher than the norm according to the report of the regional Rospotrabendzor.
Abnormalities were also recorded in the territory of Perm - in four municipalities at once. For example, in Perm, 30% of 250 water samples did not meet sanitary standards. Among the reasons can be mentioned deviations in the content of related chlorine residues. And in Chosovsky district, almost all the water samples tested (95.8%) did not meet the standards, including the presence of chlorine.
The problem was also identified in the Volgograd region. There, in 2025, deviations were detected in the content of free and combined chlorine residues in tap water. In Nekhivsky District, 59.2% of the tested samples did not meet sanitary and chemical indicators.
High levels of the substance can cause skin and eye irritation and severe hair loss. According to ATOL data, from January to October 2026, Russians were 17% more likely to buy shower filters. At the same time, the average price decreased by 31% - to 366 rubles. The demand for replacement cartridges also increased - by 18%. Their cost decreased by 3% and amounted to 575 rubles.
