Chlorine itself is a gas at room temperature. Ordinary table salt
(sodium chloride, NaCl) is half chlorine, and a simple electrochemical
reaction with salt water produces chlorine gas easily. That same
reaction produces sodium hydroxide (NaOH), and by mixing chlorine gas
with sodium hydroxide you create sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl). When you
buy a gallon of bleach at the grocery store, what you are buying is
the chemical sodium hypochlorite mixed with water in a 5.25-percent
solution. You're buying salt water that has been changed slightly by
electricity.
Chlorine is chlorine, so the chlorine in bleach is the same as the
chlorine in drinking water and in a swimming pool. In fact, you can
use chlorine bleach to treat a swimming pool or to treat drinking
water. A gallon of bleach provides 1 part per million (PPM) of
chlorine to 60,000 gallons (about 250,000 liters) of water. Typically,
a pool is treated at a rate of 3 PPM, and drinking water is treated at
anywhere from 0.2 PPM to 3 PPM depending on the level of contamination
and the contact time.

Someone here mentioned bathing in chlorine bleach. [Yikes] Not
good. Don't do it folks.
WRONG.
Please get your facts straight.
I did NOT say 'chlorine bleach' I said CLOROX bleach. They are NOT the
same thing - google is your friend...
