Summary: I visited Lindsay Blackstock at the University of Alberta to learn about her ingenious method for measuring the amount of pee in a pool by looking at the concentration of an artificial sweetener called Acesulfame Potassium. We looked at some samples from some pools in my area to determine how much pee was in them and I conducted an experiment of my own to see what was the cause of that "classic pool smell". I also presented average amounts of pee in large pools as well as an equation to determine how much pee is in your own pool.

The amount of times I accidentally swallowed pool water 😣
Hah same
Have you even watched the video? Chlorine removes every single type of bacteria form the urine that means its like drinking water with trichlorium.
Smug Anime Girl see no....🤣
I KNOW!!😣😣😣😣
meh tuu
The next question: How much pee is in the ocean?

5:50 that’s cool ! That means no one pied in my families pool when I was a kid. We added everything needed, but it never smelled like public pool, I always wondered why. Now I have the answer 😁

Is no one gonna talk about how many connections this guy has
He did work at nasa..
he probably just also emails them and tells them what he wants to do and why he wants to visit them
@lemmy todotoki worked*
@@spyrosbellos2522 no
Enkie Grandchamp its way more than just “working at nasa”. That doesn’t just explain how he’s friends with seemingly everyone in the entertainment, tech, and science community...
Two comments, trichloramine is also formed from (eg) amino acid breakdown from algae and bacteria. And where is the control for the sweetener in urine?
Valid comment though.
Is this guy a Harvard graduate because he is SMART
I mean, can't speak for the first part but I'd say that the researcher at the U of A definitely had the urine control covered.
Is there a portion that needs to be applied for urea in sweat ?
Growing up, our friends had a pool. They had a sign: “We don’t swim in your toilet, don’t pee in our pool”.
apparently you swam in their toilet :p
That's genius
My answer is anyone who wants to is welcome to swim in my toilet.
@@legsopensarah9759 lol
But we don't mind if they swim in our toilet.
😃😃
By the way, we don't want to pee while we are in the pool, also we don't want to swim in other's pee.😝
The fact that the pool smell is caused from pee is never going to leave my mind
WCGwkf I know, I’m never getting in a pool again
Same...
It’s not true. Pools also do smell if no one pees in the water. Sweat and other dirt on your skin is totally enough. That’s why public pools want you to shower before you go swimming so that they don’t need to put in as much chlorine.
So it's not from the chlorine in the water
yeet...
I love your videos. They really inspire me :D
Perfect video to watch while eating
yep 😊
who else had the pool smell ruined for them
Did you previously enjoy the pool smell?
@@honeynut4048 I did. The problem bow is when I smell it I know that it's because of pee
Chlorine has bleach in it, you can smell chlorine without pee, this is false information, hope it lightened you’re mood :\
@@ellasager6268 Bleach smells differently, also what you are saying is false information

There surely were an investigation after this video in the family owning this pool, to determine who was guilty 😆
Oh wow, look i’m laughing 😐
@@isradron2547 it was not a joke. Stop being contemptuous on the internet, just because you don’t dare saying anything to anybody in real life.
But what if the pool has a filter system? I mean the pools i go to have drains for excess water that overflows ( due to the displacement of water when someone swims ). The drains are placed throughout the perimeter of the pool. and there is always new water being introduced ( from the a fountain or like tap ish thing at the bottom ), doesn't this make a pool that filters the water to be cleaner? If assuming, the water that is drained is properly treated and then pumped back in.
Imagine peeing in pool and some random scientist youtuber takes your pee to Canada.

Excelente legenda 😃 consegui acompanhar todo o raciocínio do vídeo. Muito obrigado por compartilhar conhecimento.
Note to Self: If pool smells like chlorine - enjoy swimming in pee water.
Then if u leave a bottle of water out in the open and its how then when does it smell like chlorine does that mean pee goes inside the water WOW that GROSS
A little bit of googling tells me that it's from urea, which, like he mentions, is also in sweat. So if you want to feel a little better, you can just assume it's from people being really sweaty.
Who peed in the pool?
You guessed it.
Frank Stallone
Pharaoh FPV we can take a shower
I'd still enjoy it
Basically, the stronger the smell of "the pool smell", the more the pee
Pool smell?
When I was at the Louvre there was some small pools between the pyramids, it smelled really strong... did someone pee in a museum pool?
@@tobbanimations4599 ikr
@@tobbanimations4599 I mean.... You didn't?
@@tobbanimations4599 fr when I visited France the pool smell at the Louvre was really strong. Now I know why.
That Finding Nemo reference was hilarious. 😂😂😂😂
Is that sweetener only excreted in utine, not sweat or saliva or nasal discharge?
this is something i’m wondering as well! i’m no scientest but i did read a couple articles that said that artificial sweeteners are excreted by urine *and* sweat
The pool smell reality has me a little grossed out.
I like your cut g
Same
Same here! I think it's the urea that reacts with the chlorine, which he said can also come from sweat. Still gross to be swimming in other people's sweat + pee, but I suppose that's a smidge better than a higher amount of just pee.
Well, the source of smell isn't pee anymore, and it's only a product of reaction with urea specifically and nothing else, if that makes it easier
My sister doesn’t believe it
You know, before I watched this video, I actually quite liked the smell of indoor pools. I am now ruined.
No that was probably chlorine budd
Haha
No, it’s just the chlorine.
Same here
Haha
about to go to the pool in 10 minutes and decided to watch this….
nice transition with the coffee shops
I used to swim competitively and always thought when we went to a pool that smelled extra strong of chlorine, it must be super clean. 😂🤦♂️😢 I'm now ruined for swimming.
Lol I never swim in public pools. I'd rather swim in my bathtub
Me too, Doggy Daddy, me too...
me too :(((((( D:
But pee isn't dirty actually it only smells bad. Your hands are a lot dirtier than your pee..
Lol pee is sterile. If is out of it's sterile environment aka u pee it out it is exposed to enviro pf bacteria stuff grows and it smells. Sane if urine is infected.
No wonder why my mom tells me to take a bath after swimming
HavenBroz me to
Same me too i always take a bath after swimming
Or maybe the chloride reacts with your skin after awhile and she'd rather not have a house full of ebola. Just a guess though.
Ya she always says to get the chlorine out of my hair but I think there’s something else
You should clean yourself before and after, preferably with a shower.
I will remember this when I am sitting in the hot tub on my cruise ship, THANKS!
I don’t want to go in the pool after watching this.😮

Holy crap... Thank you Mark cuz NOW i understand how I have minor asthma despite being very atheletic for years. Long story short, I LOVED swimming to the point I plan to swim every day in college if possible but recently Ive developed Asthma despite it not being a family trait. But now, knowing that Trichloramine can cause asthma, I gotta hold back on swimming.... (or find a place without chlorine+pee swimming pool) Hoping my college keeps track of this or Im gonna be in trouble XD
5:48 I can smell the difference between bucket A and B as if i was there simply because you genuinly tested the results and it comes out your eyeys moment of truth. I'm satasfied that you nailed it.

Worst is the fact that the water coming out of your tap is from recycled sewage water. Fun fact, The city of Atlanta has the water intake from the Chattahoochee River for the drinking water is just down stream of where the cities dumps the treated sewage into the Chattahoochee River.

This Video is more educational than science class
No, because school gives you mental tools, while this video just gives you an end product. You can't really do much with the information given in this video.
Der Jens rwooch
@@user-uo9ve6mf7b No
Science class at most schools usually isn't taught by someone who actually cares about or knows much about science. Imaginary numbers are usually introduced as some curious entity in algebra; usually taught without context to rotation, you never learn the more advanced applications like quaternions for rotation in 3 space without gimbal lock (you usually won't learn about these unless you happen to take an advanced course in computer graphics). Most K-12 teachers have never even come close to this level of education in math or science themselves.

Now I'm not so sure 😥
That's the thing he didn't clarify, it could come from the sweat's urea reacting with chlorine.
@@francoisenouf8998 fair enough
No, that smell isn't pee per se, it's an odor produced when chloramines react with ammonia-derivatives to form nitrogen trichloride (or trichloramine as referenced in the video). Chloramines react with all organic matter, including pee, sweat, oil and dirt.
If you smell that odor in an outdoor pool, the pool owner/maintainer is not doing a very good job of chemically balancing the pool and something is off. A pool that's maintained correctly will smell like *nothing at all.*
