What is Chlorine Gas and how to protect yourself from it

[@zetazane]

The only thing I know about Chlorine Gas is that its scary, and I don't like it.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Pretty sure all chemical weapons are scary.

[@xiior4039]

You aren't wrong

[@LordDraconis]

Hehe Cl2 grab H2 from H2O and make HCl or hydrochloric acid in your lungs

[@memes3254]

It actually smells really good

[@mac11daddy6]

High concentrations of CS taste like cinnamon while burning your eyes, throat and nasal cavity like 50,000 jalapeño peppers and coughing violently

[@shadowfoxcorp]

CL2 is pretty benighn compaired to the horror of GB (sarin) and VX, but you are correct about it being more likely for the average person to encounter due to it's massive industrial usage. I think I told you before that we had a railway incident close by my home where some chemical gas was leaked in to the local environment. The authority's ordered the evacuation of people living in certain Zip codes. Fortunately mine was not one ordered to evacuate, but it was very close. They got it under control in fairly short order. So thank goodness for that. One thing about CL2, it is very dense and slow moving as far as gas goes, so it should be easy to escape or evade. Since it is denser than air it will automatically find the lowest ground. You should find something to climb if you cannot escape a contaminated aria. You don't even have to go very high either. Just go up a flight of stairs or get on top of a tall vehicle like a lorry. I worked in this industrial facility that had a refrigerated aria so we had these huge tanks on site that were charged with high pressure refrigerant like Freon. We had saftey briefings and drills once and awhile. I was told by an older employee that if those tanks ever failed we wouldnt know about it anyway because we would already be dead. Not comforting to know. Freon moves faster than CL2 is odorless colorless and not only displaces the O2 in the environment but depletes it through your skin also. The only way to deal with it was to just hope nothing ever happened and try not to think about it to much.

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

If it displaces the oxygen, then airpacks (SCBA's) should be required for workplaces that handles that kind of stuff. A couple of places I worked in my younger days had at least a couple of Scott IIa's on site for maintenance personnel.

While Fritz Haber was a driving force in chemical weapons he did do some good in his life. He created the Haber process for producing ammonia much more easily on a large scale. This is very useful in the production of chemical based fertiliser. So while he killed many people with chlorine, he has also saved thousands if not millions from starvation.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

True but I still think there are people more deserving of Nobel prizes than him.

[@sky-m7018]

Obviously. Wasn't saying the guy was good but he didn't do all bad in his life at least.

It was seen as any other weapon. It just so happened that this one was particularly brutal and effective. Different time, different place. It was all new to them. Just another way of gaining an advantage on the battlefield

[@chrissequioa4376]

Great video! You plan on making this a series?

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

I already said that in the last video.

[@breadknightmare1375]

How long does Chlorine gas last once it becomes airborne?

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

That would totally depend on air moisture, wind etc.

[@TheOwlGilga]

Depends mostly on sunlight, sunlight creates chlorine radicals because the UV radiation snaps the bonds, the radicals will bind with anything and that will make the gas slowly fade out. It also sinks as it's heavier than air, that is why hopping into craters of artillery shells was very dangerous after a gas attack and long after if the sky was covered.

[@ronaldrobertson2332]

I remember seeing something like that when Saddam gassed the Kurds in the late 80's, how alot of innocent women and children choking to death huddled in low lieing areas and in corners. The gas just pooled in those areas, killing them.

[@randoms2222]

floridas fucked

[@lappbricks3995]

If you boiled pool.chlorene would it be the same as in chemical warfare? Good video

[@williw.5815]

LappBricks No, I think the pool stuff is a chemical combination because it would be really dangerous otherwise. Also it is solid, and Chlorine is a gas in its elemental form (not actually elemental but thats something different) thus it's propably something else. Another point would be that the pool stuff disolves in the water, wich would not happen with actual chlorine because it would form salt-acid with the water (HCl, hence the weaponization). To get actual chlorine out of that stuff, you'd need to research what that pool stuff actually is and find a chemical procedure that would split the Chlorine from what's it combined with.( Molekules and stuff) BUT, you should definitely NOT do that at all. This comment was just intended to answer your question. I might be wrong about that, someone with greater knowledge about chemistry will be able to give you the right answer, if mine has not been correct. Just correct me, if I am wrong. Furthermore do I not carry any responsibility for your actions. Please don't do something stupid...

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

No idea, wouldn't be good to inhale regardless.

[@elyly]

No,I don't have this scientistic explanation but I'm a swimmer and the pool was boiled to the point when there was gas coming out and it was just like fog or a cloud

[@mementomori7911]

@TheGarbageGang no dont thats a bad idea

[@mementomori7911]

@TheGarbageGang its bad idea to make chlorine gas. Ps. At least wear a gas mask or piss on a rag. The ammonia will neutralize the chlorine.

[@benbrocklebank1103]

I have been looking at your video on German gas masks for a bit and I saw that you said that on the volksmask 37 they used asbestos weave inside the mask. I was wondering if the weird cork looking material on the German M65's filter port is that same stuff or if it is infact just cork. Sorry to bother you but I couldn't get a good enough look at the weave in the video to see for myself if it is what is on the m65.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

I've never noticed anything similar to the VM37 and VM40 in the M65.

[@sylviaelliott4069]

what about working with chlorine tab manufactering?

[@rjbatts24]

Will a Cff4 filter protect me

[@imperialfreebladeares6297]

I Have heard that when chlorine gas reacts with water it forms hydrochloric acid, basically stomach acid that dissolves you inside our. Similar to having bad indigestion.

[@midwestchem368]

True I believe it creates hypochlorous acid and hydrochloric acid as well when it dissolves in water.

[@ChubbyCharlie97]

Will any amount of Chlorine gas whether it be half a cup, one full cup, or a 20 gallon metal bin of it all have the yellow/green smoke?

[@smaransuthar663]

No it is almost invisible in lower concentration, and it is very hard to see even when it is in a large quantity if it’s out in the open.

[@YeagerBomb115]

I have a question the american c2 filter that you use for the GP5, does the filter like get old or just like bad

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

The C2 doesn't make an air-tight seal with a GP-5, when a filter expires it just doesn't work, it doesn't become harmful.

[@constancemeadows4000]

Thank you for this information. It is helpful.

[@Filiplego1]

Should I buy a GP-5? Not using it for actual protection due to lack of filters... My FM12 is my gas mask for protection. But should I buy GP-5, not sure if there's actual asbestos in the mask if it was used. Can it be washed away tho?

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

Well it's totally up to you if you want a GP-5.

[@Filiplego1]

I always had a dream wearing it, like maybe more than 3 times. And it just looks good and it's the most famous mask in the world; plus cheap. I wanna do my Metro 2033 / Metro Last Light cosplay with it.

No I don't think chlorine is used when a house if fumigated.

[@Mossballhunter]

Is tear gas a non lethal chlorine as in not actual chlorine but the way it works on people as in the way the reaction is caused

[@tophatguytyrone5640]

Dr breen's Gaming combine elite IXX pretty sure its just a deterrant not lethal

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

It's not made from chlorine but the body reacts to low concentrations of chlorine in the exact same way, because both types of gas attack the mucus membranes.

[@TheOwlGilga]

Tear gas hurts because it usually uses irritants similar to spice, chlorine gas turns into acid when it comes into contact with water. If there is enough to be able to reach your lungs without reacting with the mucus in your throat then you will drown in acid.

[@cross27]

whats an inorganic vapor filter?

A filter that blocks inorganic vapour...

[@hanzgetzeluger8806]

great video i have a quistione is there a virus filter or no becaues i play alot of the division please tell me

[@ThePhantomStarfish]

uganda knuckles A particulate filter should prevent the inhalation of a virus. They are rather big strands of RNA/DNA with a protein shell. However, you'll want a good NBC suit to protect from fluid and skin contact. Look at what doctors used to treat ebola some years ago.

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

A particulate filter blocks all biological threats.

[@lewisarthur6778]

Cool video, you know how after the cloud of gas had disappeared in ww1 it would rest at the bottom of holes made by shelling. How long would that collection of gas at the bottom of the hole take to dissipate?

[@Weaponsandstuff93]

I guess until enough water diluted it. It was mostly only chlorine and the other chemical weapons heavier than air that stuck in craters, some chemical weapons dissipate far faster.
