Disease relevance of CHLORINE

Chlorine gas inhalation is usually accompanied by pulmonary toxicity and hypoxemia; the associated acidemia, when present, has been attributed to lactic acidosis [1].
Chlorine gas induced acute lung injury in isolated rabbit lung [2].
Chlorine gas inhalation can lead to temporary mucous membrane irritation, pulmonary edema, and transient bronchospasm [3].

High impact information on CHLORINE

For investigating the feasibility of using reactive dyes as an immunoassay marker, a dichlorine triazine dye, Procion Blue MX-7RX, was employed to stain the antibody against human serum albumin (anti-HSA) [4].
Dechlorination rates were determined by plotting the numbers of meta plus para chlorines per biphenyl molecule (mol of chlorine/mol of PCB) with sediment age [5].
Chlorine gas inhalation, similar to other toxic gas exposures, can impart a variety of effects to the entire airway ranging from mucous membrane irritation to acute respiratory distress syndrome [6].

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of CHLORINE

Chlorine gas, spreading from a train derailment, caused the deaths of 8 persons and the hospitalization of 23 with sublethal respiratory injuries [7].
