chlorine leak
Toxic gas escape
A chlorine leak is an uncontrolled release of chlorine gas from its containment—a serious industrial hazard since the gas is toxic and corrosive.
Chlorine is used in water treatment, manufacturing, and chemical production, making leaks a recognized emergency scenario: The pool was evacuated after a chlorine leak in the pump room.
Even small leaks produce a sharp, acrid smell and can cause respiratory distress.
