The Graniteville train crash was an American rail disaster that occurred on January 6, 2005, in Graniteville, South Carolina. At 2:39 am EST, two Norfolk Southern trains collided near the Avondale Mills plant in Graniteville. [1] Nine people were killed and over 250 people were treated for toxic chlorine exposure.
The chlorine gas is compressed at this stage and may be further cooled by inter- and after-coolers. After compression it flows to the liquefiers, where it is cooled enough to liquefy. Non condensible gases and remaining chlorine gas are vented off as part of the pressure control of the liquefaction systems.
Although aqua regia is an unstable mixture that continually gives off fumes containing free chlorine gas, this chlorine gas appears to have been ignored until c. 1630, when its nature as a separate gaseous substance was recognised by the Brabantian chemist and physician Jan Baptist van Helmont.

Earlier this week, the chlorine smoke closed schools and led to a shelter-in-place order for more than 90,000 residents east of Atlanta while some were told to evacuate after emergency officials ...
This plant was rebuilt in neighboring Westlake, Louisiana, following a $170M investment from KiK. [10] Construction on the site started in June 2021 [8] and the plant reopened in July 2022. [11] In March 2023, a chlorine leak from a pipe in the facility resulted in a shelter in place order and the temporary shutting down of interstate I-10. [12]
Chlorine's ability to completely dissociate in water is also why it is an essential electrolyte in many biological processes. [6] Chlorine, along with phosphorus, is the sixth most common element in organic matter. [1] Cells utilize chloride to balance pH and maintain turgor pressure at equilibrium.
