| Dangerous Chlorine tank car |
Use of The Chlorine Institute “C”-Kit may cause the catastrophic failure of a chlorine tank car.
The Chlorine Institute instruction manual fails to warn first responders that it is imperative to check the pressure of the car prior to applying the “C”-Kit device to the pressure relief valve.
The “C”-Kit is not equipped with a pressure testing device and fails to explain the extreme dangers inherent to capping off and disabling a pressure relief valve.

TOXIC TRAIN SAFETY - A First Responders Petition caused The Chlorine Institute to conduct a five-month study comparing the safety of secondary containment to the chlorine “C”-Kit for chlorine tank cars. The study proved secondary containment to be, by far, the safest technology for containing and preventing releases of chlorine gas. To see secondary containment - search “CHLORTANKER.”
