I have an automatic transmission car that just jerks when I press the gas pedal and it will not move. There is also a burning rubber smell. What could be the problem?
It is probably too late at this point, but it may just have been low on transmission fluid. The burned rubber smell is the bands in the transmission slipping because they are either worn out or very low on fluid. Check the fluid level and add if needed. It may not help, but you will only waste $10 adding fluid.

Does chlorine have odour is it worse than wastewater?
If you have ever smelled laundry bleach, or been in a swimming pool and noticed a smell to the water- that is the smell of chlorine (in a fairly mild form). Pure chlorine gas is pale green, has a choking, burning smell, and is deadly to breathe. Whether it is "worse" than the smell of wastewater would depend on the purity of the chlorine you smell- the more pure, the worse the smell.
