Q. What are the environmental effects of liquid chlorine gas?

Answer

After release in the environment, liquid chlorine gas gets spread just above the ground and gets dissolve into the environment or can mix with water. In the air or in water, liquid chlorine gas reacts with other chemicals and combines with inorganic material in water to form chloride salts and chlorinated organic chemicals. The repeated exposure to chlorine in air can affect the immune system, the blood, the heart, and the respiratory system of animals. Chlorine causes environmental harm to organisms living in water and in soil.
