Abstract
Chlorine gas released from production at a Chlor‐Alkali plant (mercury cell process) resulted in extensive damage to vegetation downwind from the factory. Within one mile downwind of the plant most species comprising the emergent vegetation in the area experienced between 30 and 90% foliage damage. Individual species demonstrated differing sensitivity as did individual organisms. Damage indicative of the presence of chlorine gas was detected up to 11 miles (17#lb6 km) downwind from the release point.Keywords
