Should this stay Chlorine emission to be more in line with other articles? But the problem with that is that Tina doesn't emit the gas, she exhales it. So what about Chlorine exhalation, or Chlorine exudation, since "exude" is the word Sylar used in Viewpoints. Radicell 09:03, 4 November 2008 (EST)

  • Exudation actually refers to the process of emitting through pores as small droplets though, similar to nerve gas emission. Personally I prefer chlorine inhalation since it explains her power better, but according to the naming convention it should be chlorine exudation. --Ciwey 09:08, 4 November 2008 (EST)
    • Yeah, exude sorta means "ooze". Chlorine inhalation? Don't you mean exhalation? I think something like Chlorine exhalation or Chlorine expiration would be best, but the naming convention would mean using Chlorine exudation. However, I'd wait until more people's opinions before doing the move. Radicell 09:11, 4 November 2008 (EST)
      • Yeah, exhalation. Sorry, had a momentary brain hiccup there. --Ciwey 09:18, 4 November 2008 (EST)

Is "Chlorine _____" enough, or do we need it to be "Chlorine gas _____" to distinguish it from liquid chlorine, the more often comprehended type that is found in swimming pools? Radicell 09:45, 4 November 2008 (EST)

        • "Chlorine exudation" makes the most sense. For searching purposes, I would add redirects from "chlorine exhalation" and "chlorine expiration" since those are more common terms, but do not follow the naming convention. -- RyanGibsonStewart (talk) 10:58, 4 November 2008 (EST)
  • Chlorine is a gas in its standard state at room temperature and pressure, so I think chlorine would suffice. Plus, the chlorine used in swimming pools is actually just gaseous chlorine dissolved in water (hence the ingenious and very inventive term "chlorine water"). Ahh, the things you learn from high school chemistry... --Ciwey 09:59, 4 November 2008 (EST)
