Chlorine Uses Harm of chlorine

- Chlorine has variety of uses Causes
•Inhalation: VERY TOXIC, can cause death. Can cause severe irritation of the nose and throat ,severe lung injury and life-threatening accumulation
▪ To disinfect water and is part of the sanitation process for of fluid in the lungs (pulmonary edema). Symptoms may include coughing, shortness of breath, difficult breathing and tightness in the chest. A single
exposure to a high concentration can cause a long-lasting condition like asthma Symptoms may include shortness of breath, tightness in the chest
sewage and industrial waste and wheezing.
•Skin Contact: CORROSIVE. The gas irritates or burns the skin. Permanent scarring can result. Direct contact with the liquefied gas can chill or
kills bacteria – it is a disinfectant. It
freeze the skin (frostbite). Symptoms of mild frostbite include numbness, prickling and itching. Symptoms of more severe frostbite include a burning

- The name “ Chlorine “ was named by

Humphry Davy in 1810.
- He submitted and confirmed chlorine to be
an element.

Swedish chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele

( Figure 1)

- Chlorine was discovered in 1774 by Swedish

chemist Carl Wilhelm Scheele, a chemist of
German and Swedish ancestry.
- He obtained this discovery through the THANK YOU!
reaction of the mineral pyrolusite, (which is
manganese dioxide, MnO2 with hydrochloric
acid.
- Carl Wilhelm just thought he had discovered
a compound that contained oxygen and he
didn’t realized that he had discovered a new Chemist Humphry Davy
