The clinical features of acute chlorine gas inhalation, and its management are reviewed. Current medical views on the chronic effects of an acute overwhelming exposure on lung function (reactive airways dysfunction syndrome), and the more controversial field of lung disease secondary to repeated inhalat...

Furthermore, inhalation of higher concentrations of Cl2 gas by humans can cause irritation of skin, eyes and lungs to an immensely injurious extent. Realizing the importance of Cl2 detection in environment as well as in chlorinated water, several SPR based fiber–optic sensors have been reported ...
Potentially hazardous releases due to chlorine gas leaks have been a crucial social issue in Taiwan, especially leaks that have occurred in the process plants in general, such as water treatment plants (WTPs), petrifaction, and so on. Classified as a highly toxic gas, chlorine presents severe ...
Chlorine is a greenish-yellow gas with a pungent ‘bleach’ smell detectable in concentrations as low as 3.5 ppm. It is around 2.5 times denser than air and will accumulate in low-lying areas and enclosed spaces. Exposure Exposure occurs primarily by inhalation. Chlorine also causes burning to...
The pure chemical element has the physical form of a diatomic green gas. The name chlorine is derived from chloros, meaning green, referring to the color of the gas. Chlorine gas is two and one half times as heavy as air, has an intensely disagreeable suffocating odor, and is exceedingly ...
Methods: Three databases were searched from 2007 to 2017 using the following keywords "("chlorine gas" OR "chlorine-induced" OR" chlorine-exposed") AND ("therapy" OR "treatment" OR "post-exposure")". Forty-five relevant papers were found: 22 animal studies, 6 reviews, 19 case reports ...
All work with chlorine should be conducted in a fume hood to prevent exposure by inhalation, and splash goggles and impermeable gloves should be worn at all times to prevent eye and skin contact. Cylinders of chlorine should be stored in locations appropriate for compressed gas storage and separa...
Chlorine dioxide,CI02, is a yellow-reddish gas.It is a very effective bleaching and water treatment agent. Chlorine dioxide is preparedby the reaction of chlorine and sodium chlorite. It is quite unstable and is commonly prepared immediately before use. 2.7 Color/Form Yellow to reddish-yellow ...
