Question 373 Deck General

The correct answer is C) respiratory irritant. Chlorine gas is a respiratory irritant that primarily affects the lungs and respiratory system. When inhaled, chlorine gas can cause inflammation and damage to the airways, leading to coughing, choking, and breathing difficulties. Severe exposure can result in pulmonary edema, which can be fatal. Chlorine gas is not primarily a skin burning agent, blood poisoning agent, or nerve paralyzing irritant, so options A, B, and D are incorrect.
