Chlorine

A chlorine gas explosion killed 12 people and injured more than 250 on Monday, authorities said, when a tank that fell from a crane released a poisonous yellow cloud at Jordan's Aqaba port.

The Ministry of Health referred the matter to the Ministry of the Interior in connection with information received from the Ministry of Health on the use of "chlorine dioxide disinfectant" as a means of destroying "all viruses and pathogens" and "for the treatment of various diseases" including COVID-19.

Nearly 10,000 Bulgarians drink chlorine dioxide, a bleach-like preparation, to protect themselves from COVID, according to a bTV investigation.

More than 10,000 Bulgarians already believe that chlorine dioxide, distributed online as CDS or MMS, is a health secret. Chlorine dioxide is a disinfectant that is similar to bleach, according to the investigation.

One worker suffered more severe injuries and the other minor injuries. Both were immediately hospitalized.
The director of the Water Factory, Bojan Dimki, told the Beta agency that the inspection was on the ground and that an investigation was underway, and that he would soon provide more information.

Even though there is no evidence that COVID-19 transmits from pools and sea, some measures are still necessary as people are flocking to holiday resorts and swimming pools, says an expert.

Taking advantage of people's fears about the passing epidemic of the new coronavirus, online retailers are offering rubbing alcohol instead of disinfectant and this could endanger the health of consumers. 

The dangerous practice was established by an inspection of the law enforcement agencies and will be banned

Disinfectants and chlorine above the norm discovered the control bodies at the first inspections of the pools in the country. Is this dangerous and what are the risks to our health if we come into a heavily polluted pool?

Just in days - as of June 1, the pools open. In Sofia the pools are about 200 - 44 outdoor and 125 indoor pools, NOVA reported.

The escape from the heat in the city will cost us between 3 and 18 leva. More expensive will be the pool getaway during the weekends.

Owners are obligated to have safeguards as well. The depth in the different zones must also be specified.

A total of 152 people were injured due to a chlorine gas leak in Turkey's southeastern province of Siirt on Sept. 11, according to a statement from the Health Ministry.
