Risks and Hazards of Chlorine

Description

Health Hazards

Health Hazards, Chlorine gas is primarily a respiratory irritant, At low concentrations, chlorine gas has an odor similar to household bleach, As the concentrations increase from the level of detection by smell, so do the symptoms in the exposed individual, Depending on the level of exposure to chlorine, the effects may become more severe for several days after the incident, Observations of

CDC

Chlorine gas can be pressurized and cooled to change it into a liquid so that it can be shipped and stored, When liquid chlorine is released, it quickly turns into a gas that stays close to the ground and spreads rapidly, Chlorine gas can be recognized by its pungent, irritating odor, which is like the odor of bleach, The strong smell may provide adequate warning to people that they are

Chlorine Gas Toxicity

Gaseous chlorine is poisonous and classified as a pulmonary irritant, It has intermediate water solubility with the capability of causing acute damage to the upper and lower respiratory tract, Chlorine gas has many industrial uses, but it was also once used as a chemical weapon in World War I, Today, most incidents of chlorine exposure are through accidental industrial or household exposures,

Safety Report Assessment Guide: Chlorine , Introduction , The purpose of HSE’s assessment of a safety report against the criteria in the SRAM, is to come to a conclusion on whether the requirements and demonstrations in Schedule 4 Part 1 have been met, The extent of the information required for each demonstration to be made will depend on the level of proportionality considerations and the

Chlorine Gas Inhalation

Postulated mechanisms for airways injury due to chlorine inhalation, Hydration of chlorine gas Cl 2 leads to formation of HCl and HOCl hypochlorous acid,As indicated, both Cl 2 and HOCl can react with airway lining constituents, Reactive oxygen species ROS such as superoxide O 2 −,, hydrogen peroxide H 2 O 2, and potentially hydroxyl radical can be formed both via recruited
