Respiratory rate, chlorine effects

The respiratory tract was consistently the primary target of toxicity, and similar effects were seen following single and repeated inhalation exposmes. The upper respiratory tract was primarily affected at lower chlorine concentrations, with symptoms such as sensory irritation and nasal lesions. Sensory irritation was manifested as a decreased respiration rate, sneezing, flared nostrils, reddened eyes, lacrimation, salivation, and foamy nasal secretions. Nasal symptoms included inflammation, epithelial necrosis, deciliation.
