The chlorox used on the floor could definitely irritate the lungs to the point where the lung becomes susceptable to infection. The school should be using no more that a five percent bleach solution and the rooms should be well aired for at least an hour before they are used by children. Chlorox should never be used without dilution. Five percent is the standard for military decontamination of biological agents.
Clorox is definitely a lung irritant. Eight years ago, I used Clorox Clean Up in my bathroom, and "burnt" my lungs (even with ventilation). I nearly died from this incident, and developed severe asthma as a result. Unfortunately, there are not enough warnings out about this hazard. To this day, I can not use bleach products, can not be near chlorine pools, and have to be extremely careful in everyday settings such as supermarkets (where they clean the seafood dept with bleach), restaurants (bleach water to wipe down the tables), and even my own doctor's office where they use Clorox Clean Up to sanitize the exam rooms.
Many people believe that bleach is a wonderful thing. I used to clean with it everyday, thinking I was doing the "right" thing. I definitely see things differently now. It can definitely cause liflong lung problems, and I urge you think twice before using strong concentrations, especially around children. It is definitely not worth the risk.
Chlorox, We, too, are concerned regarding excessive use of bleach ( chlorox) We have 4 grandchildren : twins 3 , a boy 4 and a 8 year old.Our daughter in law has OCD. They are currently in Germany ( Army)
We visited over Christmas and found a gallon of Chlorox in every room for cleaning. Our D-i-Law mopped every day with a strong concentration. She washes utensils, dishes, countertops chairs constantly with bleach.
One of the twins is currently in the hospital. for pneumonia (after asthma)
He was also in the hospital for a bacterial infection a month ago. All three of the young ones have respiratory problems.
We believe there is a connection. Either from damage ( burning)to the lung tissue making them susceptable to infection or possibly the reverse: without normal exposure to bacteria and virus' they haven't been able to develop immunities.
We too would appreciate authoritative comment
