Chlorine is a yellow-green irritating toxic gas with a specific gravity of 2.5 times that of air, which can cause serious damage to the respiratory tract and is highly irritating to the mucous membranes and skin.
Chlorine is an important industrial raw material widely used in the chemical and plastics industries. It is used as a bleaching agent in the paper and textile industry. Liquid chlorine is widely used in daily life disinfection and cleaning agents. For example, disinfectants, certain drugs, chemical fibers or plastics commonly used in drinking water disinfection require chlorine as raw materials. No matter how strong your body is, inhaling excessive amounts of chlorine can cause respiratory damage. In severe cases, it can cause acute pulmonary edema. Improper rescue may result in suffocation and death.
What is acute chlorine poisoning?
Acute chlorine poisoning refers to systemic diseases caused by acute respiratory damage caused by inhaling a large amount of chlorine in the short-term work. The clinical manifestations are mainly the occurrence of severe cough. When the symptoms are heavy, pulmonary edema will occur, making the circulation difficult and causing death. Chlorine entering the body from the esophagus can cause nausea, vomiting, chest pain and diarrhea.
How to prevent chlorine poisoning?
First, we must strengthen safety education, improve operational procedures, and regularly inspect production equipment to prevent running, running, dripping, leaking, and strengthen ventilation. The second is to pay attention to safety and personal protection during transportation. The third is to take good pre-employment check-ups, and patients with tracheal and cardiopulmonary diseases should not engage in such operations.
How to save yourself in the event of a sudden chlorine leak?
First of all, don't panic. Residents in the polluted areas should shift to the windward area, and use the wet towel to protect the nose and mouth. When it is safe, take a good rest and avoid strenuous exercise, so as not to aggravate the burden on the heart and lungs and worsen the condition. Secondly, patients should be promptly sent to large hospitals or medical units with occupational diseases as soon as possible. Early use of glucocorticoids and antibiotics can reduce respiratory and lung damage. Ultrasonic spray is used to deliver drugs directly to the respiratory tract. it is good. The patient can be fully recovered with effective treatment without having to worry too much.
Sealand is a trustworthy manufacturer of CNG Mass Flow Meter, CNG Mass Flowmeter, CNG Flow Meter, CNG Flowmeter, CNG Coriolis Meter, ATEX, IECEx & CE approved.
With its high accuracy, wide rangeability and reliable performance, Sealand meter has been applied in many kinds of industries during the last 8 years. Unlike others who only focus on the measurement of liquid at normal pressure & temperature, Sealand has conquered the difficulty in the measurement under severe conditions, such as high pressure, high viscosity, high & low temperature.
Take CNG (compressed natural gas) for example. As the saying goes, the meter can measure anything else if it can measure CNG. It is quite hard to measure gas under high pressure. The sensor must be able to bear high pressure; in this way, the thickness of flow tube must be increased, so the transmitter shall be more sensitive to detect the signal; however, Sealand made it. Sealand's first model is specially designed for CNG dispenser, and now thousands of this model are put into use on the market.
