Chlorine gas is a poisonous gas and if you inhale it it can do a variety of different things depending on where it was released and the concentration. Chlorine gas when accidentally made at home can cause little to virtually no damage to you. However, in an industrial setting Chlorine gas can cause lung damage and at concentrations at 4000 pp can cause death. However, reaching those sort of concentrations are rare. Most people only suffer minor injuries when exposed to an industrial amount of chlorine. Chlorine gas when inhaled will destory your lungs and reacts with water to create hydrochloric acid which can do more damage. Chlorine gas was used in World War I but most soldiers exposed didnt die from the Chlorine gas but more from the explosions of bombs made from it.
