Some of this salt ends up on your french fries NaCl , and some you throw on your sidewalk in the winter CaCl 2. The MgCl 2 is electrolyzed to produce Mg 0 , a lightweight metal used in the auto industry. Of course, the by-product of magnesium production is elemental chlorine, which can be responsibly used for all of the above-mentioned health and manufacturing applications.
The dark side of Cl 2 production is that too much of it is released directly into the atmosphere. Magnesium Corp. A little bit of chlorine is a great way to kill bacteria, but higher concentrations turn Dr. Jekyll to Mr.
More than twice as dense as air, chlorine can settle to the ground as it did in Ypres, France, in April , accounting for thousands of fatalities. Responsible use of chlorine will ensure its continued applications toward improvement of human health and lifestyle without waging war on the environment. She and her family enjoy camping and rockhounding in Utah's mineral-rich West Desert. Where is the name Chlorine popular?

Year Name poster for Chlorine. In its liquid and solid form it is a powerful oxidizing, bleaching, and disinfecting agent. This element is a part of the halogen series forming salts. It is extracted from chlorides through oxidation and electrolysis. Chlorine gas is greenish-yellow and combines readily with nearly all other elements.
Chlorine is an important chemical in water purification, in disinfectants , in bleach and in mustard gas. Chlorine is also used widely in the manufacture of many products and items directly or indirectly, i.
It is used to kill bacteria and other microbes from drinking water supplies. Chlorine is involved in beaching wood pulp for paper making, bleach is also used industrially to remove ink from recycle paper. Chlorine often imparts many desired properties in an organic compound when it is substituted for hydrogen synthetic rubber , so it is widely use in organic chemistry, in the production of chlorates, chloroform, carbon tetrachloride, and in the bromine extraction.
In nature it is only found combined with other elements chiefly sodium in the form of common salt NaCl , but also in carnallite, and sylvite. Chlorides make up much of the salt dissolved in the earth's oceans: about 1. The amount of chloride in soils varies according to the distance from the sea.
The average in top soils is about 10 ppm. Plants contain various amount of chlorine; it is an essential microutrient for higher plants where is concentrates in the chloroplasts. Growth suffers if the amount of chloride in the soil fall below 2 ppm, but it rarely happens. Chlorine is one of the atoms in a toxin that some South American frogs have in their skin.
It can paralyze or even kill large animals, according to the American Chemistry Council. Natives of the Colombian tropical rainforest used to rub the tips of their arrows on the skin of these " poison-dart frogs. However, by rearranging the compound on the atomic level, chemists hope they can eventually find a version that is a potent pain reliever. Previous research has linked drinking chlorinated water to an increased cancer risk.
For example, in a study published in in the American Journal of Public Health, researchers found that people who drank chlorinated water had a 21 percent higher risk of getting bladder cancer, and a 38 percent higher risk of getting rectal cancer, than people who drank non-chlorinated water.
And, in another study, published in in the journal Environmental Health Perspectives, investigators found that people who swam in a chlorinated pool for 40 minutes had increased biomarkers i. However, a study published in the same journal found that while there is a higher bladder cancer risk when drinking chlorinated water, there was little to no evidence linking swimming in a chlorinated pool and bladder cancer risk in a study that looked at the number of hours in the swimming pool during summer and non-summer months and during different age ranges.
The U. Environmental Protection Agency have not classified chlorine as a human carcinogen, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. So, is chlorine bad for your health? Not exactly, said Preston J.
