What does chlorine smell like?

Bleach

Chlorine smells like bleach and has a strong pungent smell.

Chlorine is a green gas at normal temperature and pressure with a strong pungent smell. It is denser than air and easily soluble in water and alkaline solutions, but difficult to dissolve in saturated salt water. Chlorine is very harmful to the human body. It mainly invades the human body through the respiratory tract and dissolves in the moisture contained in the mucous membrane, which can cause damage to the upper respiratory tract mucosa. Long-term exposure to low concentrations or short-term inhalation of high concentrations of chlorine can cause strong irritation to the eyes and respiratory tract, and may cause symptoms such as coughing, tears, and wheezing.

In addition, chlorine was used as a chemical weapon in World War I because it can cause symptoms such as runny nose, coughing, suffocation, and chest pain. In water supply systems, chlorine is often used for sterilization and disinfection, but high concentrations of chlorine are harmful to the human body. Therefore, in daily life, you should pay attention to avoid contact with chlorine to protect your health.
