Best Answer

It would have to be highly concentrated - above 1,000ppm. At these levels, a few deep breaths would be fatal.

Generally, any levels above 30ppm will cause respiratory irritation and increasing symptoms. The poisoning occurs when the chlorine reacts with water within the body to form hydrochloric acid, which will very quickly lead to systemic acidosis in high levels.

Do you mean that adding a little chlorine made the reading go from 0 to a higher level? You should shock your pool once a week with 1L of liquid chlorine per 10000L of water in your pool.
