Chlorine is used in water treatment to make sure the water is free from germs and safe to drink. Chlorine is highly toxic to fish and changes their blood, making it less able to carry oxygen. Fish exposed to excess chlorine soon die due a to lack of oxygen.
To protect our angling environment, Inland Fisheries Ireland is empowered to enforce the Fisheries Acts 1959 to 2010 and Water Pollution Acts 1977 and 1990.
