Introduction • Chlorine is widely used industrial chemical agent with corrosive properties and a potential weapon of mass destruction. • At standard temperature and pressure exists as Greenish-yellow color gas with suffocating pungent odor. Under high pressure or low temperature, it turns to clear, amber-colored liquid.1 • Chlorine is heavier than air, and therefore it will remain near the ground in areas with little air movement.1 • It is used in water treatment, household cleaning products
