Call for medical assistance (911) when necessary. First Aid for Chlorine Exposure A concentration of 10 ppm of gaseous chlorine in air is considered an immediate dangerous to life and health (IDLH) concentration. A Threshold Limit Value (TLV) has been established for chlorine at a concentration of 0.5 ppm. A TLV is the airborne concentration of material that has been established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) to cause potentially adverse health effects over a specific period of time. According to the Chlorine Institute, acute exposures may cause the following:  Low level exposure, less than 3-5 ppm o Skin irritation with discomfort and pain o Eye irritation with discomfort, tearing or blurring of vision o Irritation of the upper respiratory passages (nose, mouth and throat) manifested by cough, burning, and choking sensation  High level exposure, greater than 3-5 ppm o Skin burns or ulceration o Eye corrosion with corneal or conjunctival ulceration o Corrosion of mucosal surfaces with respiratory irritation manifested by cough, discomfort, difficulty breathing, or shortness of breath o Laryngeal edema (swelling) manifested by hoarseness and high pitched cough
