https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chlorine

https://www.nytimes.com/2017/06/16/well/is-chlorine-in-swimming-pools-safe.html

1 Are there elements in the Periodic table which can substitute Chlorine in the Swimming pools?

2 Can Chlorine be added in Oceans, Seas, Lakes ?

If yes, Upto How much amount?

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks.

https://www.quora.com/Can-fish-survive-in-a-chlorinated-swimming-pool

Is this could be the reason?

Even Small amounts of Chlorine can be harmful to Fishes & other animals living in Oceans, Seas, Rivers & Lakes?

Interestingly Large Fishes Sharks, Whales, Dolphins etc  can survive small amount of chlorinated water but not small fishes in Oceans, Seas, Lakes & Rivers ?

Thanks & Regards,

Thanks.

Interestingly, Flourine, Iodine and other periodic table elements may be not as Harmful as Chlorine in Oceans, Seas, Rivers, Lakes & Swimming pools to Fishes & Human Beings?

Thanks & Regards,

They're called interhalogen compounds.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interhalogen

According to the article, ..

.. an interhalogen compound is a molecule which contains two or more different halogen atoms (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, iodine, or astatine) and no atoms of elements from any other group.

Most interhalogen compounds known are binary (composed of only two distinct elements). Their formulae are generally XYn, where n = 1, 3, 5 or 7, and X is the less electronegative of the two halogens. They are all prone to hydrolysis, and ionize to give rise to polyhalogen ions.

Example: Chlorine monofluoride (ClF) is the lightest interhalogen compound. ClF is a colorless gas with a normal boiling point of −100 °C.

If high concentrations of chlorine were added to the ocean, it'd literally destroy every living thing it makes contact with. Of course, the concentration would have to be high enough given that it's already found naturally in drinking water. Here's a toxicology report on chlorine, it mentions what concentration is safe and what isn't (attached).

Hope this helps answer your question!
