chlorine

CLUNK Magazine's world news section is recommending a story about a vinegar swimming pool. The unusual concept has caught readers' attention, with the magazine highlighting it as something worth knowing about. Details about where the pool is located and who built it remain limited, but the oddity of swimming in vinegar rather than chlorinated water is drawing curiosity.

A new study finds that the chlorine atoms in psychoactive drugs, together with the materials' density, determine how effectively these compounds attenuate X-rays and gamma rays. The work links molecular composition to radiation shielding performance, offering insights that could matter for medical imaging, radiotherapy and radiation protection applications involving pharmaceutical compounds.
