The chlorine is in sealed containers. The copper is outside the containers. Therefore the question cannot even arise.

Ed. note: finishing.com assigned the title to this letter, and Mahmoud did not actually claim that the facility was for storage, but said "containing chlorine vessels" -- so maybe there is potential chlorine exposure.

Point taken, Ted. Mahmoud, if indeed there is some chlorine in the air at times, you could get some guidance by talking with operators of municipal swimming pools.
