Like swimming baths but is so toxic that it will EXTREMELY quickly dull your smell. If you do get a smell, get to fresh air very quickly and breath deep gulps of fresh air. This gas is poisonous

Chlorine smells like bleach. It was used in WWI to kill people in their trenches. It could not be used in certain weather conditions because it could blow back and kill the people who let the gas off. Chlorine in it's gas form is the most deadly and if you smell it can damage your brain cells, so avoid smelling it if possible.

Don't smell chlorine gas. It's poisonous and also somewhat corrosive.

That said, the smell of ordinary household liquid bleach (don't stick your nose into a jug of this and take a deep whiff either, but it's likely you've smelled it in passing just from being nearby when the jug is open) is pretty similar. If you smell something like bleach and you're in an area where you suspect that there's a possibility that chlorine could be present, you should take whatever precautions you can immediately and leave the area as soon as feasible.

If you have ever smelled laundry bleach, or been in a swimming pool and noticed a smell to the water- that is the smell of chlorine (in a fairly mild form).

Whether it is "worse" than the smell of wastewater would depend on the purity of the chlorine you smell- the more pure, the worse the smell.
