When chlorine enters the body as a result of breathing, swallowing, or skin contact, it reacts with water to produce acids. The acids are corrosive and damage cells in the body on contact. Most harmful chlorine exposures are the result of inhalation. Health effects typically begin within seconds to minutes.
Signs/Symptoms. 1  TIME COURSE: Respiratory symptoms may be immediate or delayed for several hours or days after exposure to chlorine. Symptoms generally resolve within 6 hours after mild exposures, but may continue for several days after severe exposures. Deterioration may continue for several hours.
