How can families reduce the risk of exposure to chlorine?
Do not mix bleach with other household cleaners such as toilet cleaners because chlorine gas can be released to the air. Do not mix bleach with household cleaners containing ammonia because dangerous chemicals can be released to the air. Always store household chemicals in their original labeled containers out of reach of young children to prevent accidental poisonings. Never store household chemicals in containers children would find attractive to eat or drink from, such as old soda bottles. Chlorine gas can also be released to the air when chemicals used to chlorinate swimming pools are mishandled. If you have a swimming pool at home, read the labels of the chlorination products carefully and do not let children play with these products.
