UCI scientists find chlorine may contribute to ozone formation
Standard methods of predicting air pollution don't take atmospheric chlorine into account, but the chemical could be responsible for 10 percent or more of daily ozone production in local air, research at UC Irvine has found. Air measurements taken nearly nonstop in the Irvine area over a two-month period showed that daytime chlorine gas levels typically measured five parts per trillion or...Helping chlorine-eating bacteria clean up toxic waste
Bacteria called Dehalococcoides ethenogenes, discovered in Ithaca sewage sludge in 1997 by James Gossett, Cornell professor of civil and environmental engineering, and isolated and studied by Stephen Zinder, Cornell professor of...Chlorine-36 from GE Healthcare, formerly Amersham Biosciences

Millions of Americans have been drinking tap water contaminated with chemical byproducts from chlorine. Chlorine is commonly used to disinfect drinking water.// When it is added to water that contains organic matter such as runoff from farms or lawns, however, it can form compounds such as chloroform that can cause illness. The study released by the Environmental Working Group and Pub...Chlorine might be a cause for Asthma
Chlorine is one of the most widely used disinfectantsfor indoor swimming pools. It has been used for thepast decades due to it's ability to kill Bacteriaefficiently and at a more economical reate. But thischemical might be the likely reason for the suddenincrease in childhood asthma among asthma victims. The culprit is a chemical known as trichloroamine//(chemical name : n...Insilico Studies on Chlorine Eating Bacteria
Certain bacteria that break down pollutants do their job and then to make them more effective in cleaning up toxic wastes. Research was conducted on those bacteria by cornell researchers using computer models. Bacteria called Dehalococcoides ethenogenes, discovered in Ithaca sewage sludge in 1997 by James Gossett, Cornell professor of civil and environmental engineering, and isolated a...
