Reading about the green diving pool at the Olympics and a spokesman clarified the problem with this quote; "Chemistry is not an exact science".
Makes you hope your pharmacist didn't attend the same school as that spokesman, doesn't it??
Makes you wonder what an exact science. Maybe science isn't exact by its very definition.
Being a spokesman is not an exact science either. We are learning that the hard way these days.
Is it atleast at a 95% confidence level?
Based on my vague memories of the 1960s & 70s, I would have to agree with the spokesman...

Exactly!
Chemistry is about as exact as a science can get. The people applying chemicals might not be. This article says they put the wrong amounts in the pool and that let algae grow.

I've had a pool for the past five years. After spending $$$ dumping random stuff that my local pool store sold me, I decided to learn as much as a could about pool chemistry. Found www.troublefreepool.com. There are some serious chemists over there that can teach you everything you want to know about maintaining a pool. The one thing I learned is that 99% of the time a green pool is caused by algae due to insufficient chlorine. Plain and simple.
