+Chlorine is not available as a gas from the Martian atmosphere.  However, it could be produced in situ from Sodium chloride as a co-product in the preparation of caustic soda (NaOH).  Chlorine is also a constituting element of the [[Perchlorate]] family of chemicals.  These perchlorates may provide a significant hazard in the establishment of a Martian settlement.  So treating Martian soils could provide a source of chlorine for the chemical industry.

 Chlorine is abundant on the Martian surface where is is combined in many minerals, notably sodium chloride, or table salt.  Chlorine is a precursor required for the production of [[Polyvinyl Chloride|polyvinyl chloride]] plastics, or [[Polyvinyl Chloride|PVC]].
