Chlorine

Chlorine is a poisonous, greenish-yellow gaseous element with a suffocating odour. It is commonly used in disinfecting drinking water, and also for cleaning in swimming pools. These inorganic chlorides are readily absorbed from the intestine. They cannot be replaced by other halides. Chlorine is a main factor for regulating body reaction, as it is the chief anion of the body and provides for about 2/3rd of the anions of the plasma. Chlorine is present as sodium chloride in milk, water, other articles of diet etc. Chloride is found in wheat, barely, grains and pulses, fruits like melon, pineapple, and green leafy vegetables. The deficiency due to perspiration may cause heat cramps. The deficiency can lead to hair and teeth loss, impaired digestion of foods, and disturbance in fluid levels in the body. The RDA is 10-12 gm (about 4 gm of sodium).
