24 PAMPHLET 1 5.4.5 Effect of Chlorine on the Environment Vegetation Plants in the path of a chlorine release may be damaged. Leaves may be bleached and browning and leaf loss may occur. Healthy plants will usually recover with time. Animals Seek medical attention for evaluation or treatment for pets and other animals that experience irritation or any signs of respiratory distress. Aquatic Life Chlorine is only slightly soluble in water and there would be little absorption from a cloud of chlorine gas. If chlorine is released into a lake or stream, it may harm aquatic plants and animals until it dissipates. 5.5 TRANSPORTATION EMERGENCIES DOT and TC require that any person who offers chlorine for transportation must provide a staffed 24-hour emergency response telephone number that can be called in the event of an emergency involving chlorine. The SDS, provided by the chlorine supplier, contains this contact information. This information may also be found on the bill of lading and the shipping container. 5.5.1 CHLOREP The Chlorine Emergency Plan (CHLOREP) was established in January 1973 by CI as an industry-wide program to improve the speed and effectiveness of response to chlorine emergencies in the United States and Canada. The primary purpose of the Plan is to minimize the risk of injury arising from the actual or potential release of chlorine during emergencies occurring in the course of transportation at distribution points, or at chlorine user locations. Under this Plan, the United States and Canada have been divided into regional sectors where trained emergency teams from producing, packaging, distribution, and consuming plants are available on a 24- hour basis to handle possible or actual chlorine releases. 5.5.2 CHEMTREC, CANUTEC, & SETIQ During a chlorine emergency, any carrier, customer, or civil authority can obtain basic emergency information and contact information for the closest chlorine emergency group through CHEMTREC (U.S.), CANUTEC (Canada), SETIQ (Mexico), or their chlorine supplier. The emergency response call center, i.e. CHEMTREC and CANUTEC, provides immediate advice for those at the scene of emergencies. CHEMTREC will promptly contact the appropriate responder group as required. CANUTEC will provide contact information and participate on a call to the appropriate responder, which must be initiated by the incident scene contact. In many cases, the responder will be the shipper. However, in some cases, the designated response group is called and then the shipper is notified.PDF Image | Chlorine Basics 8
