When is medical attention required?
If there is a suspicion of chlorine poisoning, it is necessary to seek qualified help in 100% of cases.
Since it is not always possible to assess the degree of poisoning by clinical manifestations in the first hours, the victim should be under round-the-clock medical supervision for the first 24 hours. This is necessary to promptly prevent the development of life-threatening complications.
Treatment of chlorine poisoning is carried out in a hospital setting. The victim is provided with oxygen supply, hemodynamics are stabilized, vital functions are supported - breathing, cardiac activity, metabolic processes. Prevention of complications and symptomatic therapy are carried out.

Ammonia
Ammonia is another gas dangerous to humans. It has a sharp, specific smell.
Ammonia is used in industry, agriculture and medicine (in the production of ammonia).
Poisoning with significant doses of ammonia always causes death.
The symptoms of ammonia poisoning are as follows:
- lacrimation;
- Severe runny nose;
- Involuntary secretion of saliva;
- Facial redness;
- Cough of a convulsive nature;
- Suffocation;
- Pain in the sternum;
- Convulsive syndrome;
- Vomit.
Death occurs with clinical manifestations of acute heart failure.
Long-term exposure to ammonia vapors on the human body does not pass without leaving a trace. Even after successful treatment, the patient may experience neurological disorders: nervous tics, memory loss, significant deterioration in vision and hearing.
Note!
First aid for ammonia poisoning should be provided only in a special suit, gloves and shoes. The use of a gas mask is also mandatory.
Let's consider the procedure for providing first aid for ammonia poisoning:
- Protect people from exposure to toxic substances;
- Provide fresh air or oxygen inhalation;
- Rinse the nasal and oral cavities with water for up to 15 minutes;
- Drop Dicaine 0.5% into each eye;
- Ensure that there is no bright light (put the victim on dark glasses or cover the eyelids with a dark bandage);
- If the skin is damaged by chemicals, it is thoroughly washed with water and a bandage soaked in an antiseptic solution is placed on the site of the injury;
- If poison gets inside, gastric lavage is performed.
Note!
Given the high probability of death, all poisoned persons must be hospitalized.
Technical support of the center
To carry out search and rescue operations, rescuers have in their arsenal sea vessels, inflatable motor boats, all-terrain vehicles, off-road vehicles, and snowmobiles.
At the expense of the regional budget, the fire and rescue center purchased for the search and rescue team: a mobile control center equipped with all types of communications (radio, satellite, television); a laboratory vehicle with equipment for express diagnostics for the purpose of detecting and indicating radioactive, biological (bacteriological) contamination and chemical contamination of objects, raw materials, and the environment; All-terrain vehicle based on KAMAZ.

What is chlorine and where is it used?
Chlorine is element number 17 on the periodic table, which has pronounced toxic properties. In its free form, it is a gas that has a yellowish-green color and a distinct smell of lime, which can hardly be confused with anything else. It has a pronounced irritating and suffocating effect, and dissolves well in ordinary water. Has high chemical activity.
Chlorine exposure is rarely fatal, but the development of complications as a result of prolonged contact is quite possible. It is interesting that in its pure form the substance is found only in its deposits, and therefore poisoning with it occurs mainly in production or in places where it is actively used.
Chlorine poisoning is possible during production:
- detergents,
- medicines,
- pesticides,
- insecticides, etc.
Chlorine can also be used in a swimming pool or water park as it is a cheap water disinfectant.
Communication and notification
Notification of the population about airborne, radioactive, chemical, and earthquake hazards is carried out simultaneously through an automated centralized warning system using remotely controlled electric sirens, as well as using existing wired broadcasting networks, radio broadcasting and television, regardless of their departmental affiliation and form of ownership.
In order to ensure timely and reliable notification of the population and provide them with information about the situation and their actions in the current conditions, the following notification procedure has been established. More details
First aid for chlorine poisoning
First of all, immediately call emergency services and rescuers. The victim must be urgently removed from the affected area, observing safety measures for the rescuer himself, namely: protection of the respiratory system, skin, and mucous membranes from poison entering the body (cotton and gauze bandages, respirators, goggles, gloves, protective clothing). In case of direct contact with a chlorine-containing substance, immediately stop its entry into the body by rinsing the skin with running water.
How you can help a person with chlorine poisoning:
- Unbutton your clothes, open the window, let in fresh air and ventilate the room.
- Rinse your mouth and nasal passages, and thoroughly rinse your eyes with plenty of running water or a two percent solution of baking soda.
- Provide the victim with alkaline drinks, milk, and mineral water.
- You can use soda inhalations.
- Provide the patient with emotional and physical peace.
- If liquids containing chlorine that do not have a corrosive effect are swallowed, with the victim clearly conscious, offer to drink large quantities of water and induce vomiting.
After providing first aid, the patient must be taken to a medical facility for further observation and treatment. The first day the patient should be under the supervision of qualified personnel, this will help to avoid many unpleasant serious consequences and prevent the occurrence of possible serious complications.
When treated in a hospital, therapy is aimed at restoring and maintaining the vital functions of the victim’s body:
- oxygen support if necessary;
- stabilization of breathing and blood circulation;
- normalization of metabolic processes;
- prevention of possible complications from the kidneys, brain, gastrointestinal tract;
- symptomatic therapy.

Symptoms of chlorine poisoning
Manifestations of intoxication depend on the route of entry of poison into the body: through the respiratory system (inhalation); through the digestive tract (when taken orally); through the skin; as well as the amount and time of exposure to a person.
There are three degrees of severity of poisoning with chlorine and chlorine-containing substances: mild, moderate and severe. At very high concentrations of poison, poisoning occurs instantly.
Manifestations of mild chlorine poisoning are characterized by:
- moderate headache, dizziness.
Symptoms when poison enters through the upper respiratory tract:
- sore throat and nasopharynx;
- excessive lacrimation and rhinorrhea;
- redness of the eyes and mucous membranes of the mouth;
- burning and pain in the eyes;
- dry cough, frequent sneezing.
Symptoms when poison enters the gastrointestinal tract:
- pain, cramping in the abdomen;
- nausea, vomiting;
- loose stool.
If poison gets on the skin and mucous membranes:
- rash, itching and burning;
- contact dermatitis.
In moderate and severe forms of poisoning with chlorine and chlorine-containing substances, the symptoms of intoxication are more intense:
- hoarseness of voice, feeling of lack of air;
- unproductive shallow breathing, shortness of breath, up to suffocation, respiratory arrest;
- dry painful cough, turning into a wet cough with pink foamy discharge;
- acute pain in the chest area, significantly aggravated by coughing;
- nausea and repeated vomiting;
- decreased blood pressure and decreased heart rate;
- convulsive syndrome;
Chlorine poisoning may initially resemble a state of intoxication, then drowsiness, turning into impaired consciousness, even coma, depending on the amount of poison entering the body. This condition can last approximately three to four days, and at best ends with recovery from a coma with possible serious complications, damage to the liver, kidneys, and lungs.
In a fulminant course, all symptoms manifest themselves in an extremely severe form in the shortest period of time: suddenly developing suffocation with pulmonary edema, possible convulsive syndrome, cardiac arrhythmia, leading to cessation of breathing and cardiac activity.
Is chlorine dangerous in water after settling and boiling?
From this article you learned in detail why chlorine in water is dangerous. And, of course, many are wondering how to eliminate or at least minimize the consequences of adding chlorine to drinking water. People's councils offer the two simplest methods - settling and boiling.
Sedimentation of tap water is one of the most common methods of water purification. Indeed, chlorine and its dangerous compounds are unstable, and therefore easily disintegrate and evaporate upon contact with air. To simplify this process, water must be poured into a glass or enamel container with a large surface area in contact with air. After 10 hours, the chlorine will almost completely disappear, and the water will be suitable for drinking.
However, this method of water purification does not rid it of organic substances that it may contain after passing through the city water supply system. Being in an open container at room temperature, these microorganisms begin to actively multiply, and within a day the water may acquire a characteristic musty odor. Drinking such water is extremely dangerous, since it may contain pathogens of intestinal diseases.
The boiling method removes not only chlorine and its compounds from water, but also kills microorganisms that are not resistant to high temperatures. However, after cooling, boiled water again becomes an ideal place for the proliferation of dangerous microorganisms that enter it from the atmospheric air. Therefore, boiled water cannot be stored. In addition, constant consumption of such water can lead to the development of dangerous urolithiasis.

Why is chlorine in the water dangerous when you shower?
Many of you may now argue that if you do not use tap water for drinking, you can avoid the risk of chlorine entering your body. However, it is not. Chlorinated water during hygiene procedures can also be harmful. Due to the effects of chlorine contained in water, human skin loses its natural fatty membrane. This leads to dryness and premature aging of the epidermis, and can also provoke itching or allergic reactions. Hair exposed to chlorine dissolved in water becomes dry and brittle. Medical studies have shown that an hour-long bath in water containing excess chlorine is equivalent to drinking 10 liters of chlorinated water.

Urgent actions
First aid for acid poisoning has several specific features:
- Gastric lavage with water with burnt magnesia dissolved in it;
- If it is impossible to carry out manipulations with gastric lavage, the patient is allowed to drink large quantities of liquid that envelops the walls of the stomach (milk, vegetable oil, rice broth);
- A heating pad with ice is placed on the abdominal area to reduce pain;
- In case of hydrocyanic acid poisoning, an antidote must be administered immediately.
Note!
If there is the slightest suspicion of a perforation of the stomach, it is prohibited to rinse it.
In case of chemical poisoning with alkalis, first aid is carried out according to the same principle.
It should be noted that the consequences of the effects of ahs on the human body are extremely negative.
Despite the fact that first aid and treatment will be correct and timely, the victim may still have the following consequences of poisoning:
- As a result of severe burns to the vocal cords, a person loses the ability to speak;
- When the esophagus is burned, scars remain on the organ, which causes pain with any meal;
- Exposure to alkalis and acids on the eyes leads to complete blindness.
Note!
All household chemicals contain compounds of alkalis and acids. Therefore, first aid for poisoning with household chemicals is provided according to the principle described above.
How to recognize poisoning?
Chlorine is dangerous for children and adults if there is a lot of it, chemist, candidate of chemical sciences Denis Zhilin told 360. In high concentrations, it irritates the mucous membranes of the nose and lungs.
“If you inhale it well, it can begin to destroy the alveoli of the lungs,” the specialist explained.
However, it is easy to avoid poisoning: it is important to remember that chlorine smells. If you smell it, it’s better not to breathe deeply and leave this area.
If you inhale this substance well, you will cough and feel a sore and irritated throat. This is one of the first symptoms.
“One breath is enough to understand that something is wrong, and try to get out of the affected area either upwards, since the chlorine spreads downwards, or, if you are outside, in a direction perpendicular to the direction of the wind,” Zhilin advised.
Tears will also flow from your eyes.
But if you inhale chlorine well, you can start to choke and cough a lot. When the destruction of the lungs begins, breathing problems will arise. In such serious cases, doctors perform artificial ventilation.
