Key Points

Gas-phase reactions between sodium hypochlorite bleach emissions and limonene yield toxic chlorinated products, which readily accumulate in poorly ventilated indoor air spaces.
Gas-phase analysis shows hypochlorous acid and chlorine react rapidly with volatile limonene terpenes, driving extensive chlorinated product formation across indoor environments.
Highlights potential respiratory health risks from mixing chlorine bleach with fragranced cleaning agents, emphasizing the need for enhanced ventilation during indoor cleaning.
