Sources said there was a chlorine leak at the facility and workers were being sent away from the facility. WBRZ viewers called the newsroom reporting a strong odor in the area around the plant. LA 1 was closed and only emergency vehicles were allowed to go beyond the highway closure.

Chlorine is wicked. I've been down and out lung and breahwise for a few days due to accidentally inhaling chlorine while doing some plumbing.

quote:

chlorine is toxic enough to be a chemical weapon and categorized as a “choking agent”. Inhalation of chlorine gas can cause difficulty breathing, chest pains, cough, eye irritation, increased heartbeat, rapid breathing, and death. Exposure would be a very traumatic experience

The signs of acute chlorine gas poisoning are primarily respiratory, and include difficulty breathing and cough; listening to the lungs will generally reveal crackles. There will generally be sneezing, nose irritation, and throat irritation. There may also be skin irritation or chemical burns and eye irritation or conjunctivitis. A person with chlorine gas poisoning may also have nausea, vomiting, or a headache
