Sodium chloride is the salt most responsible for the salinity of the [[ocean]] and of the extracellular fluid of many multicellular [[organism]]s. Sodium chloride is frequently termed ''common salt'' or ''table salt''.
 
Sodium chloride is essential for life. Humans are unusual amongs [[primatesprimate]]s in secreting large amounts of salt by sweating.
 
Salt is produced by [[evaporation]] of [[seawater]] or brine from other sources, such as brine wells and [[salt lake]]s, and from mining rock salt.
