Chlorine Gas Facts — When
chlorine gas mixes with water one
of the products produced is concen-trated
hydrochloric acid.
That means when chlorine gas
gets in your eyes, it’s like splashing
concentrated hydrochloric acid in
your eyes, and you could go blind.
If you inhale chlorine gas into
your lungs it will mix with the
moisture in your lungs and also
make hydrochloric acid, which
would be like drinking hydrochlo-ric
acid. This makes chlorine gas a
very deadly gas.
OSHA requires whenever you
work with chlorine gas you must
have two people present: one in the
chlorine room and one outside ob-serving.
This is the OSHA manda-tory
two man policy.
Chlorine Gas Characteristics:
• It is toxic and very corrosive
• It is 2.5 times heavier than air.
(It will collect in low places and
will not float away without forced
air ventilation
• It has a greenish-yellow color and
a very distinctive and pungent odor
• It has a very high coefficient,
which means it has a tendency to
expand even further if the tempera-ture
increases. It must be stored
in storage facilities out of direct
sunlight
DEQ Chlorine Gas Facility
Construction Requirements:
• Chlorine gas must be stored in a
facility by itself
• There must be a window in the
door to the facility
• There must be a chlorine gas
leak alarm system installed in the
facility that will notify a 24-hour
manned operation of a leak, fire
station, police or main treatment
facility.
• The facility must have an opera-tional
ventilation system that does
one complete air change a minute.
