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
From the video, you can realize that the gas always stays near the ground and never goes above or never floats above the floor. This is because chlorine is denser than the air. If you have a risk of chlorine exposure in the environment you live/work, just a reminder that you need to open the doors as well as the windows to remove the gas more effectively. This can be balcony door or doors to the outside. Opening only windows may not be enough to clear out the gas.
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.
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.
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.
Very interesting. Especially the chlorines behavior due to self refrigeration. I must wonder why retreating to an attic shall not be done (mentioned at 20:40) despite the supposed urgency of moving to the highest level possible.... 🤔
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.
This should be required viewing for anyone that lives near a railway. Excellent video! Thank you for your efforts to keep us safe!
The narration has such a cheerful tone.

It's nutty watching something so incredibly deadly, then just having a guy explaining it super casually.
Ever heard of safety? Someone who never own a biz wouldnt know lmao
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.
I had the same thought.
I am here after the chlorine gas that was dropped in jordan after a chain snapped moving it to the ship.
Same here, lol

here after the horrible shipping incident
rest in peace poor workers. What a way to go... it was crazy to see such a big cloud in a "real" evironment.
I used to see trucks carrying chlorine gas on my way home from work the wall thickness of those cylinders was insane.

Came to confirm or not the accident in port city of Aqaba Jordan
Just heard of it, that's why I'm here too
iam here for the same resonin aqaba /Jorda

Excellent video - it demonstrates the flows of the gases. Great for training purposes.
Is there a posibilty to see the ammonia video ? Amazing content ! Im a first responder !
This is a chlorine only channel :D
Watching chlorine release give me trauma of accidental chlorine exposure in lab.
When h2o2 was mixed with hcl.
Watching all that chlorine spill out is scary.

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.
Due to atic ventilation - depends of the house and constructional solutions of the atic and roof !
@@reinis2485 that could probably be a legit reason why 👍🏻
I think it’s cause it has a roof and chlorine can land on the top maybe
Attics have open vents
Chlorine Institute?
That's one highly specific channel.
similar releases of fluorine would be more dramatic. Iodine releases would be boring.
very good awareness and useful in practical field
Just FYI: Chlorine is in cigarette smoke in small quantities.
Thanks for the advice. I'll be ready for the next one
What's the residue the gas leaves on surfaces?
I dont miss working with that stuff one bit!!!!!!!!!! retired for over a year
is there also a bromine institute?
Yeah, it's located between the Chlorine Institute and Iodine Institute on Halogen Boulevard 😉.
@@SerumCRM114 I wonder where the astatine institute is located. Also nice name.
@@SerumCRM114 are the Raves still in the Neon institute?
@@gavinperch9413 Scientists have proof that it exists, but they are not sure where it is exactly located as nobody has seen the institute itself. 😂
@@SerumCRM114 I've heard rumors its rather hot
Where would the full video's and data be located at?
Chlorine is an insanely important and interesting element.
Man, I wsh i had that job. Looks like so much fun and lots to do.
But what happens if you get a lung full of that stuff?
An unpleasant experience
Brown bread...
You become unalive.
Imagine that cloud coming at you. What do you do?? Close your eyes tight and hold your breath for as long as you can, i guess.

Where do they get gravity from?
I mean either the chlorine gas is heavier or lighter than the other gases around it, like clouds perhaps
Is this cholrine gas, or liquid chlorine vapor?
What's the difference? It starts as a liquid in the tank and turns to gas/vapour
should have asked germany, im sure they have some expirience with it
Chlorine gas is 2.5 x heavier then air
Nice!! Now do the same with Fluorine pls
I can smell this video
It is helpful for me to study nice
Major violation of the montreal protocol !
Where is the EPA on this ?
