The people of Flint are trapped by the legal system. And it is only the most high profile case out many cities with a similar problem. 

See below for a chart on what household cleaners to NEVER EVER MIX EVER OR YOU CAN (AND WILL PROBABLY) DIE OR OTHERWISE BECOME EXTREMELY FUCKED UP AND NOT IN A FUN WAY BUT IN THE HOSPITAL AND/OR GRAVEYARD WAY:

The above is not a complete list, but these are extremely common in most households and therefore are the most likely chemical fuck-ups to occur. 

DO NOT MIX HOUSEHOLD CHEMICALS. 

DO NOT MIX CLEANING AGENTS.

DO NOT MIX CERTAIN ASTRINGENTS. (HYDROGEN PEROXIDE IS OFTEN IN FIRST AID KITS OR WOUND SPRAYS AND CAN CAUSE A REACTION IN SMALL AMOUNTS IF MIXED WITH THINGS IT SHOULD NOT BE MIXED WITH EVEN ACCIDENTALLY ON A SURFACE ETC.) 

DO NOT MIX ANY CHEMICALS THAT YOU ARE NOT 100% SURE ARE SAFE TO MIX. (SPOILER: MOST THINGS ARE NOT REALLY SAFE TO MIX AND SOMETIMES COMBINING SAFE ONES ACTUALLY MAKES THEM LESS EFFECTIVE ANYWAY, SO JUST DON’T COMBINE THIS KIND OF SHIT!) 

YOU ARE PROBABLY NOT A CHEMIST. PLEASE DO NOT TURN YOUR KITCHEN/BATHROOM/HOME INTO A LAB ACCIDENT. 

IF YOU ARE A CHEMIST, YOU SHOULD STILL NOT FUCK AROUND. MANY OF YOU DO NOT RELIABLY USE YOUR SAFETY GOGGLES OR THE CORRECT TYPE OF SAFETY GOGGLES. (IF YOU’RE THE TYPE OF CHEMIST WHO DOESN’T ENSURE ADEQUATE VENTILATION IN YOUR WORK AREA, I WILL NOT TRUST YOU WITH BLEACH. COMPLACENCY KILLS.) 

CONCLUSION: STOP MIXING CHEMICALS! 

YOU ARE NOT PROFESSOR X, AND YOU WILL NOT END UP CREATING THE POWERPUFF GIRLS. 

YOU WILL ONLY CREATE A NEW INVOICE FOR YOUR LOCAL FUNERAL HOME. 

I AM YELLING AT YOU BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND WANT YOU TO BE SAFE.

TO ANY DUMBASS TEENAGERS OUT THERE, I WANT YOU TO SURVIVE LONG ENOUGH TO BECOME DUMBASS ADULTS. 

Bleach + Vinegar. Bleach and vinegar mixture produces chlorine gas, which can cause coughing, breathing problems, burning and watery eyes.” After this text, there’s a symbol of a red diamond shape with a skull inside, labeled “Danger! Poison. May cause death”

“Bleach + Ammonia. Bleach and ammonia produce a toxic gas called chloramine. It causes shortness of breath and chest pain.” The same skull symbol comes after this line, also labeled “Danger! Poison. May cause death”

“Bleach + Rubbing alcohol. Bleach and rubbing alcohol makes chloroform, which is highly toxic.” The skull symbol comes after this text, labeled “Danger! Poison. May cause death”

But, a hazard presented here that is not mentioned: Throwing all that bleach powder around is a respiratory hazard. ANY airborne particulates or non-air gasess are hazardous.

Wear a mask and/or work in a well-ventilated area while working with any breathable non-air substance. That goes for paint, dust, sawdust, cleaning supplies, glue fumes, nail polish fumes, smoke (even from food and candles), mold (food or room), or any other particles/gasses.
