Yes, chlorine gas is about 2.5 times heavier than air. At standard conditions (pressure = 101.325 kPa and tenmperature = 15 degC), the density of chlorine gas is 3.04 kg/m3 and the density of air in 1.202 kg/m3. This means that chlorine gas will not 'rise' and tend to stay low on the ground. This causes many problems with ventilation.
