Industrial Fixed Chlorine (Cl2) Gas Detector

Gas Detection Q&A - For Your Safety Environments

Built-in advanced gas detector sensor and sound & light alarm to ensure precise and safe gas detection in hazardous applications.

Q: What happens when exposed to Chlorine gas?

A: Exposure to Chlorine gas (Cl2) can have severe health and environmental consequences. Chlorine gas is a highly toxic gas and irritating to the respiratory system. When inhaled, it reacts with the moisture in the mucous membranes, forming hydrochloric acid, which can cause burning sensations, coughing, shortness of breath, and potentially life-threatening pulmonary edema.

Chlorine gas exposure can also lead to skin and eye irritation, causing redness, itching, and chemical burns. Prolonged or high-level exposure may result in severe lung damage, convulsions, and even death.

To prevent chlorine gas exposure, especially in industrial settings where it is used, a Cl2 gas detector is recommended. These gas detectors continuously monitor the air for Chlorine gas concentrations and sound an alarm if levels become hazardous. Rapid detection is crucial for ensuring the safety of workers and the surrounding environment, allowing for prompt evacuation and the initiation of appropriate safety measures, such as donning protective equipment and shutting down Chlorine-related processes.
