Chlorine bleach is a dangerous substance and can cause a multitude of injuries.
1 Contact injuries: First and second degree chemical burns to any part of the body, especially the eyes.
2 Inhalation injuries: pulmonary edema, angioedema, pulmonary embolism, emphysema, bronchospasm and in cases where gaseous chlorine is released and inhaled (due to mixing with acid), a quick death due to searing of the alveoli.
3 Ingestion injuries: First and second degree chemical burns to the lining of the mouth and the gums (sometimes causing tooth loss). In large doses, bleach will cause severe gastric damage, such as perforation of the alimentary canal (esophagus, stomach, duodenum) leading to internal bleeding, vomiting, leakage of stomach/intestinal contents into the abdominal cavity, ultimately causing necrosis, sepsis and death.

Chlorine is found in living things?
Chlorine (Cl2) gas is found in nature and it is necessary to most forms of life (including humans). However, chlorine is a powerful oxidant and it is a toxic gas in certain concentrations. The problem is that if a human inhales too much chlorine it becomes fatal. The chlorine reacts in the lungs with water molecules and cells forming hydrochloric acid (HCl), which is fatal in humans. Here is some reactions in the human body depending on the concetrations:ppm = parts per million30 ppm of chlorine ----> coughing and vomiting60 ppm of chlorine ----> lung damageabove 100ppm ---------> fatal after a few deep breaths
What effect does chlorine have on moist universal indicator?
Chlorine turns moist universal indicator paper red, then bleached. It has the same effect on blue litmus paper (red then bleached). this shows it is an acidic gas and so when reacts with sodium for example (an alkali metal) makes sodium chloride (salt).
