Pools are probably fine for urine, but probably not big enough for corpses.

r/nostupidquestions topic: Is peeing in the pool considered normal? Answer: Peeing in a body of water is fine. It's like having corpses on the bottom. People have varying thresholds on the volume of water required not to wig out. Most people don't want to bathe in a bathtoo with either a corpse or somebody else's urine. But they wouldn't bat an eye at being in a lake or ocean. Pools are probably fine for urine, but probably not big enough for corpses.

Peeing in a pool? No. There’s a reason they go heavy on the chlorine in public pools.

Peeing in a lake? Knock yourself out.

The chlorine is actually another reason why you shouldn't pee in a pool. That's how you get deadly, explosive nitrogen trichloride!

(if you want to know more, here is a wonderful video about the chemical by a very nice Australian man who I adore: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mV_daaldE_I )

Careful! You risk making homeopathic pollution which becomes stronger when you dilute it further.

Same as with rotting corpses and smell. A dead landlord in my living room may stink up the whole house but a dead politician sitting at the far end of an indoor stadium won't be noticeable.
