Small popular science:

84 disinfectant+toilet spirit = chlorine poisoning

Red Star reporters inquired about the media publicly reported that the 84 disinfectant and toilet cleansing spirit was mixed when cleaning, causing poisoning incidents to occur from time to time.

It is reported that the main component of the toilet spirit is hydrochloric acid. The main effect of the 84 disinfectant is sodium hypochlorite. After the two are mixed, a chemical reaction will occur to produce chlorine gas. The chlorine gas is a toxic gase. The obvious symptom of chlorine poisoning is a severe cough. The chlorine gas entering the body from the esophagus can also cause nausea, vomiting, chest pain and diarrhea. When the symptoms are severe, pulmonary edema will occur, causing difficulties in the cycle.

Therefore, when cleaning the bathroom, 84 disinfectant and toilet cleansing spirit must not be used together. After using the toilet cleansing spirit, if you disinfect it with 84 disinfection, you must be more than half an hour. In short, the most secure approach is to use only one each time, and pay attention to keeping ventilation. In case of accidental symptoms of poisoning, immediately open the window to ventilate and cover your mouth and nose with a wet towel.
