  2. The Kilacold Bomb was a short-lived "cure" for the cold and other respiratory diseases that was sold during the 1920s, consisting of an ampoule of pure chlorine gas intended to be broken in a sealed room, where the ailing person would stay for an hour.

  3. Chlorine cycle (Biogeochemical cycle 🔄)

    The chlorine cycle is the biogeochemical cycling of chlorine through the atmosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and lithosphere. Chlorine is most commonly found as inorganic chloride ions, or a number of chlorinated organic forms. Over 5,000 biologically produced chlorinated organics have been identified. The cycling of chlorine into the atmosphere and creation of...

  6. Addendum to an earlier post (a long while ago, actually), apparently, what causes chlorine smell can also be caused by sweat and other things, not just urine.

  7. You may be surprised to learn that the unmistakable smell of #chlorine that hits you when you come out of the changing room and into the #swimming pool actually isn't technically the smell of chlorine.

    "This smell is when chlorine is reacting to other materials, particularly #ammonia, in the #water, which comes from #urine and #sweat," Khan says. This ammonia reacts with chlorine and forms chloramine, which is what causes the smell. "So, the smell suggests that there are bodily fluids in the pool reacting with the chlorine," says Khan.

  9. Mixing bleach and vinegar creates potentially lethal #chlorine gas.
    If you notice a pungent smell after mixing household cleaners, you should immediately leave the area and try to breathe in fresh air.
    If you or somebody you know notice any symptoms of chlorine gas poisoning, it’s a good idea to immediately call 911 or the NCPC at 800-222-1222.

  10. As I sit here sipping a gin and tonic in my back yard, next to my pool, listening to the cicadas, I can't help but think "damn, I do love the sounds of #nature, and the smell of #chlorine."

    Not sure what that means, but it is what it is....

  11. 🐳🧂 v3007.0 has been released! 🎉

  12. I’ve had to use eye drops last night & all morning so far. My eyes were so red from the chlorine at the pool. My fault, I have goggles but rarely wear them. I’ve now looked them out & put them in the swim bag again. Goodness knows why I took them out in the first place.
    I’m also very aware that my legs have calves this morning 😂🤣. #LoveSwimming #Chlorine #Exercise

  13. In a unique study carried out in #drinking #water pipes in Sweden, researchers from Lund University and the local water company tested what would happen if #chlorine was omitted from drinking water.

  14. Australia's Massive Wildfires Shredded the Ozone Layer--Now Scientists Know Why

    Massive wildfires that raged across southeast Australia in 2019–20 unleashed chemicals that chewed through the ozone layer, expanding and prolonging the ozone hole.

    A study, published today in Nature, describes how smoke combined with chlorine-containing molecules in the stratosphere — remnants of chemicals that are now banned — to cause the destruction.

    The Australian fires produced the largest smoke plume on record, releasing roughly one million tonnes of smoke to heights of up to 30 kilometers.

    That’s well into the stratosphere, the portion of the atmosphere that contains the ozone layer, which protects Earth from harmful ultraviolet rays, says study co-author Kane Stone, an atmospheric chemist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) in Cambridge.

    In the months after the wildfires, the hole in the ozone layer, which appears annually over Antarctica, was larger and lasted longer than in previous years.

    About 80% of the chlorine in the atmosphere is a legacy of #chlorofluorocarbons, chemicals used in aerosol sprays and as refrigerants starting in the 1930s.

    Their use has mostly been phased out since an international treaty was implemented in 1987. Remnant chlorine is bound up as #hydrochloric #acid and #chlorine #nitrate, which are harmless to the ozone layer.

    But when #hydrochloric #acid dissolves in #water droplets, it forms reactive ozone-depleting molecules.

    That doesn’t usually happen away from the poles, because the air is too #warm, says Stone.

    The team used a computer model to predict how various organic acids contained in smoke particles would alter the solubility of hydrochloric acid.

    The changes produced in the simulations mirrored the changes to stratospheric chemistry that were observed after the fires.

    Solomon says that #hydrochloric #acid latches onto the #surface of the #smoke #particles and reacts with other molecules to produce #molecular #chlorine, which is broken down in sunlight to highly reactive ‘ozone-eating’ chlorine #ions.

  15. What's the difference between chlorine, chlorine, and chlorine? Glad that you asked! This is an example of where colloquial English isn't good enough to distinguish between several very different things. We make it easier to understand here -

    Last we checked, there is #chlorine (and #flouride) in #tapWater in most if not all Australian cities so you may not need to buy #toothpaste and can just brush your teeth with tap water.

    Having said that our regions are reportedly growing in population post-covid, and we don't know #waterTreatment everywhere.

    Maybe check with the waterDept where you live.
