Formation of acetic acid vapor
During the chlorine analysis acetic acid vapor may form. This accumulates during the gas

Acetic acid vapor is not only corrosive but also hazardous to health.
Do not inhale these vapors! Always connect the adsorption tube with active carbon in the
chlorine module without delay!
