    It's nutty watching something so incredibly deadly, then just having a guy explaining it super casually.

    0:53 I love how you can see the unadulterated color of chlorine on the left, whereas the other stuff either has HCl fumes or dust clouds or even droplets of liquid chlorine. Terrifying

    The chlorine cloud rushing towards the camera around 1:08 was horrifying. All I could think about was the soldiers in WWI seeing something like that.

    As I understand, the electrolysis of seawater creates a lot of caustic soda and hydrogen. The caustic soda is used a lot in industry and so it the hydrogen. Chlorine is considered a byproduct and has created a glut in the market. Therefore all this chlorine released was probably excess chlorine.

      I don't think that's correct. Chlorine is a major industrial atom. Bleach, sanitation products, PVC pipes, plastics, hydrochloric acid manufacture, many solvents (DCM, Chloroform, ect), and much more. I'd imagine anyone making quantities of chlorine would have a market for it.

    don't underestimate...the effects of inhaling a light concentration of chlorine gas are debilitating.
    Thankfully, the odor of chlorine is intense; providing an opportunity to take protective measures.

    My thoughts were on the chlorine attacks of world war 1. For the first time seeing in color what a massive chlorine release looks like and the color of the landscape through a chlorine lens, like the soldiers saw through their gas masks.

    • @reinis2485
      @reinis2485 2 роки тому

      maybe because if the gass clowd is going down it may easily get into the atic, but it would be harder for it to get in a room inside in the building.

    • @bueb8674
      @bueb8674 Місяць тому +1

      Elemental Chlorine does not appear on the EPA 'Ozone-Depleting Substances' list. The concern is with stable substances that break down from UV at high altitudes, releasing Chlorine directly into the Ozone layer. Pure Chlorine released at ground level is too reactive to even have a chance at reaching high altitudes and causing problems. Acid rain, maybe. A balloon of SF6 is worse than these tests in terms of greenhouse gas effects.
