Mercury Bleach Bash Not Recommended By CDC

Recommended Posts

You know that infections are caused by bacteria, right? How does breathing bleach cause bacteria to get into your lungs and cause an infection?

 

Now, I can see that if the fumes were very strong they could cause an irritation and even some breathing difficulty, if you had very weak lungs or the fumes were extremely strong. I still can't see how breathing the fumes from a weak bleach solution that is being spritzed on walls, elevators, handrails, etc, could cause a lung infection. So, my question stands....even if you don't like it. :)

 

Also, one of the most important reasons that you don't mix cleaning fluids in enclosed or poorly ventilated rooms is that some of the chemicals can mix and cause very noxious and dangerous fumes. I haven't heard that they used anything but a weak bleach solution. Maybe the OP or someone can tell us what strength the bleach mixture was mixed at......the percentage of Sodium Hypoclorite to water would be the most important factor here.

 

I agree with you.
