Ferrous chloride

Ferrous chloride is a pale greenish salt-like crystal or powder, which is soluble in water.

Chemical Formula: FeCl2
Layman's explanation: It has been discovered that high levels of exposure to this chemical substance may lead to iron build-up in the body, which can cause nausea, stomach pain, and vomiting. Due to its corrosiveness, it is used as a resource for treating sewage, mixing metals (metallurgy), and textile dyeing.
