Actually, it's chloramine alone that is the culprit for both the smell and the red eyes according to the actual report. Which isn't reporting any new finding, as far as I know this has been well known since many years.

The short version is; A pool that smells strongly of 'clorine' ( chloramine(s) ) is a pool with a high load of contaminants, and whether or not the chlorine concentration is kept at levels enough to cope with the load can't afaik easily be determined, but it's reasonable to a assume a higher load implies a higher risk for insufficient levels.

Or as the report states: >What you smell are actually chemicals that form when chlorine mixes with pee, poop, sweat, and dirt from swimmers’ bodies. Yuck! >These chemicals—not chlorine—can cause your eyes to get red and sting, make your nose run, and make you cough. >Healthy pools, waterparks, hot tubs, splash pads, and spray parks don’t have a strong chemical smell.
