This document provides information on the safe handling of chlorine gas, including its characteristics, health effects, first aid treatment, and safety procedures. Chlorine gas is greenish-yellow in color and has an acute odor that causes irritation. It is slightly soluble in water and is toxic at concentrations above 1000 ppm. Safety equipment like protective suits, goggles, gas masks, and self-contained breathing apparatuses should be used when handling chlorine gas. Cylinders must be properly secured and leak tested, and chlorine leaks should be addressed using ammonia solutions.
