What does the chemical do in the lungs that causes such harm?
In: 7
When chlorine gas interacts with water in any way, like the moisture in your lungs or on your eyes, it can dissociate and pull hydrogen atoms away from the water, forming a new hydrogen+chlorine molecule. Which is hydrochloric acid. And acid is not really good for the body, especially in sensitive places like the lungs and eyes.
