Potassium chloride (KCl) is a white, crystalline solid used in various industrial and medical applications. It is commonly used as a fertilizer in agriculture, providing essential potassium to plants. In medicine, potassium chloride is used to treat potassium deficiency and as a component of intravenous fluids. It is also employed in the manufacture of soaps, detergents, and in food processing as a salt substitute. Proper handling includes the use of protective equipment such as gloves and goggles to avoid skin and eye irritation. Storage should be in a cool, dry place, away from incompatible substances like strong acids. Disposal must follow local regulations to prevent environmental contamination.
