“Cleaning Mixes May Hurt Lungs
If you’re looking for a stronger cleaner, be wary of mixing your own.
Arizona doctors reported in the New England Journal of Medicine on the case of a 53-year-old worker who nearly died when she mixed bleach with an over-the-counter liquid cleaner and inhaled the fumes while wiping down a walk-in freezer.
The woman’s throat was so swollen that doctors were forced to perform an emergency tracheotomy; and the woman remained in the hospital for seven days.
In a letter to the Journal, Dr. David Tanen and his colleagues at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Phoenix, say the combination of ammonia and bleach releases chloramine gas, which can react with the moisture in the throat to release ammonia, hydrochloric acid and free radicals
“Although it occurs infrequently, exposure to chloramine gas represents a substantial risk when household cleaners containing bleach and ammonia are mixed,” said the doctors.”
