Elemental Chlorine is a highly toxic gas. It can react with (water particles of) the lungs to generate hydrochloric acid. The hydrochloric acid is corrosive and can damage the lungs, which may later cause death. Chlorine will also irritate the eyes, and long term exposure may also cause blindness. Chlorine has strong oxidizing powers, making it harmful (or corrosive) on skin, and internal organs. Chlorine in its Di-chlorine(Cl2) state is highly reactive, but in its -1 oxidation state, in chloride ions, is non-reactive and non-toxic. The chloride ion is essential in organisms, and we consume it daily, in the form of common salt sodium chloride(NaCl). Chlorine in some of its higher oxidation states like +4 (Chlorine dioxide) or +7 (Dichlorine heptoxide) can also be dangerous.
