Chlorine is one of just 20 or so elements that make up all living things. Chlorine and chlorine-related chemicals as disinfectants and pharmaceuticals have saved more lives than any other chemical in the history of human kind. Of the 112 elements that make up the world we live in, 99 percent of the Earth's crust, atmosphere and oceans are comprised of just 12 elements by weight. They are oxygen, silicon, aluminum, iron, calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, hydrogen, phosphorous, carbon, and chlorine. In fact, chlorine accounts for more than two percent by weight of all seawater alone.

Chlorine-purified water hailed as one of LIFE’S top achievements of the millennium. Along with the discovery of gravity, printing and landing on the moon, the use of chlorine-purified water was recently named as one of the millennium’s greatest historical events by “LIFE” magazine.

Chlorine has an unusual ability to bind to other elements and compounds to form new matter. Chlorine's outer shell is missing one electron, which makes it highly attractive to other atoms and electrons. This is why chlorine is so useful in producing many man-made products, from thousands of consumer goods to pharmaceuticals and other industrial products.
