What are the hazards of chlorine gas detectors?
Why is chlorine gas so powerful? What is the close relationship between chlorine and people's production and life? What is the "positive" and "evil" of chlorine gas? So what are the hazards of chlorine gas detectors? Next, let's take a look with the editor of Honey Iger!
What is chlorine gas?
The chemical formula of chlorine gas is Cl2. It is yellow-green under normal temperature and pressure. It is a highly toxic gas with a strong pungent smell. One of the main products.
Chlorine gas detector hazards are as follows:
1. The usefulness of chlorine gas: a man of justice
The chlorine output value of a country is often regarded as an important indicator of the development level of the chemical industry. There are more than 200 chlor-alkali production enterprises in my country, with an annual output of more than 9 million tons of chlorine gas.
In daily production and life, people’s basic necessities of life are almost inseparable from chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is widely used in the chemical industry, electronics industry, pharmaceutical industry, pesticide industry, and metallurgical industry. Among them, bleaching agents, disinfectants and tap water disinfection;
2. my country's tap water purification method: chlorine gas sterilization
Tap water is a kind of both hygienic and safe drinking water, but due to the pollution of the environment, harmful substances such as bacteria in the water are bred in large quantities. In order to suppress and kill the bacteria in the water, chlorine gas is usually added in the process of water treatment.
Chlorine gas disinfection can make the dissolution, decomposition, and composition of hypochlorous acid in water reach a balance. The concentration is appropriate, and the residual toxicity in water is less, preventing water-borne infectious diseases and maintaining human health. Chlorine gas can be said to be a "big hero";
3. Scientific guidelines for epidemic prevention: Chlorine-containing disinfectants
During the epidemic period, the disinfectants commonly used by residents include chlorine-containing disinfectants or chlorine dioxide disinfectants. The common ones are 84 disinfectant, sodium hypochlorite disinfectant, and bleach.
These two types of disinfectants can be used for surface, fabric and other contaminated items, as well as disinfection of water, fruits and vegetables, food and drinking utensils, medical equipment and air;
4. The damage of chlorine gas: the god of evil
The reason why chlorine gas is well known among many gases is that in addition to its wide range of uses, its intense toxicity and irritation often make people talk about "chlorine";
5. Fear caused by rumors: tap water increases chlorine injection
During the epidemic, a piece of news that "adding chlorine gas to tap water and needing to stand for more than two hours before it can be used" was widely spread on the Internet, causing people to panic. Excessive amounts will lead to chlorine gas poisoning, causing a series of diseases, and severe cases will be life-threatening.
Afterwards, the rumors were refuted by local officials. This is false news. The residual chlorine in the factory water of each water supply plant is far below the national standard limit. The tap water has a slight chlorine smell, which is a normal phenomenon, and there is no need to "stand still for at least two hours before using it."
