Everyone knows that chlorine is one of the main products of the chlor alkali industry and can be used as a strong oxidant. Chlorine is used more and more in the chlor alkali industry, and leakage has become common. Today, I introduce the harm of chlorine leakage to human body:
Short term effect: After inhaling chlorine, the human body can quickly attach to the respiratory tract mucosa, which can then lead to bronchospasm, bronchitis, peribronchial edema, congestion and necrosis. Irritation of the respiratory tract mucosa can cause local smooth muscle spasm. In addition, congestion, edema and burns of the mucosa can cause serious ventilation disorders. Inhalation of extremely high concentrations of chlorine may cause vagal reflex cardiac arrest or throat spasm and lead to "shock like" death. Skin contact with liquid chlorine or high concentrations of chlorine may cause burns or acute dermatitis at the exposed site.
Chronic effects: long-term exposure to low concentrations can cause chronic bronchitis, bronchial asthma, etc; It can cause occupational acne and tooth erosion.
