Early today, a chlorine gas leak at Rome's Hotel Barberini resulted in eight poisonings, with five employees hospitalized, one critically. This incident validates the risks associated with chlorine use in facilities like spas and underscores similar dangers in #watertreatment processes. Chlorine is effective at disinfecting water but can be hazardous if mishandled. At Hotel Barberini, the released chlorine gas caused respiratory problems and eye irritation. Chronic exposure to chlorine can increase cancer risks due to by-products like trihalomethanes (#THMs) formed when chlorine reacts with organic materials. The Barberini incident highlights the critical need for stringent safety measures in chlorine handling and suggests shifting towards alternative disinfection methods like #UVtreatment or #ozonation, which are safer for both human health and the environment.
