Understanding
Chlorine
Cl2
Chlorine gas (Cl₂) is a toxic, greenish-yellow gas with a strong, pungent odor. Moreover, it is approximately 2.5 times denser than air, which means it can accumulate in low-lying areas. Chlorine gas consists of two chlorine (Cl) atoms bound together by a covalent bond, forming a diatomic molecule (Cl—Cl). As a result, it is a highly reactive halogen and is widely used in various industrial processes. In particular, chlorine plays a significant role in disinfection, chemical manufacturing, and water treatment. However, it is also hazardous to health when inhaled or when it comes into contact with the skin.

Chemical
Chlor-Alkali industry is the largest source of chlorine gas. In the chlor-alkali process, chlorine gas is produced through the electrolysis of sodium chloride (salt) in water. This process also produces sodium hydroxide (caustic soda) and hydrogen gas.
Pulp & Paper
Chlorine is used in the bleaching process of wood pulp to produce white paper. This process often generates chlorine gas or chlorine-based compounds. Although many companies now use chlorine dioxide (a less harmful alternative), chlorine gas was historically the main agent used.
Plastic Production
Chlorine is a key raw material in the production of PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a widely used plastic in construction, packaging, and medical equipment. During the manufacturing of PVC, chlorine gas is produced as a by-product, especially when chlorine is reacted with ethylene (a petroleum-based compound) to form ethylene dichloride (EDC), which is then polymerized into PVC.
Agriculture
Chlorine gas is involved in the manufacturing of pesticides and herbicides. Certain chlorine-based chemicals like chlorinated hydrocarbons are used in agricultural chemicals, and chlorine gas can be released during their production.
Water Treatment
Chlorine gas is used to disinfect drinking water, wastewater, and swimming pools. Although chlorine is often added in a diluted or liquid form (like sodium hypochlorite), it is sometimes released as gas in treatment facilities.
