"The health effects resulting from most chlorine exposures begin within seconds to minutes. The severity of the signs and symptoms caused by chlorine will vary according to amount, route and duration of exposure. Inhalation: Most chlorine exposures occur via inhalation. Low level exposures to chlorine in air will cause eye/skin/airway irritation, sore throat and cough. Chlorine's odor provides adequate early warning of its presence, but also causes olfactory fatigue or adaptation, reducing awareness of one's prolonged exposure at low concentrations. At higher levels of exposure, signs and symptoms may progress to chest tightness, wheezing, dyspnea, and bronchospasm. Severe exposures may result in noncardiogenic pulmonary edema, which may be delayed for several hours. Ingestion: Since chlorine is a gas at room temperature, it is unlikely that a severe exposure will result from ingestion. However, ingestion of chlorine dissolved in water (e.g., sodium hypochlorite or household bleach) will cause corrosive tissue damage of the gastrointestinal tract. Eye/Dermal Contact: Low level exposures to chlorine gas will cause eye and skin irritation. Higher exposures may result in severe chemical burns or ulcerations. Exposure to compressed liquid chlorine may cause frostbite of the skin and eyes." as seen on http://www.health.state.ny.us/environmental/emergency/chemical_terrorism/chlorine_tech.htm
Three different types of chemical reactions seen in everyday life include combustion reactions (burning a candle), oxidation-reduction reactions (rust forming on metal), and acid-base reactions (antacid tablets neutralizing stomach acid). These reactions help drive processes like cooking, cleaning, and metabolism.
A radical inhibitor works by reacting with and neutralizing free radicals, which are highly reactive species that can cause unwanted side reactions in organic chemistry reactions. By scavenging these radicals, the inhibitor helps to control the reaction and prevent undesired outcomes.
Yes. Electricity can cause a chemical change. On the History channel they showed electricity doing something to a copper penny that made a chemical change .(don't exactly what the electricity did to it but it did cause a chemical change)
Fossil fuels such as coal, oil, and natural gas. Biomass from plants and organic materials. Hydrocarbons in gasoline and diesel fuel. Chemical reactions in batteries and fuel cells. Nuclear reactions in uranium and plutonium.
No, a single exposure to a sensitizer typically does not cause an immediate reaction. Sensitization is a process where the immune system develops a response to the substance over time, leading to an allergic reaction upon subsequent exposures.
No. Most times it will happen after one or more times.

Yes, benzyl benzoate can cause skin irritation for some individuals. It is a known skin sensitizer and can cause allergic reactions in certain people. It's recommended to perform a patch test before using products containing benzyl benzoate to check for any sensitivity.
Can decay tooth enamel, long repeated exposures. Skin, respiratory and severe eye irritant, can cause allergic reactions. check the MSDS for it.
Very short exposures to dry ice will produce a sensation of cold, but no lasting damage. However, long exposures can cause frostbite and result in tissue death.

Allergic reactions to antibiotics can cause Secondary vasculitis
Yes, peanuts can cause allergic reactions in some people.
Asbestos can be the cause of:lung cancer (can be confounded with other environmental exposures),asbestosis ( today considered to be rare), andmesothelioma (cancer of lining of the lung).
No
