Is there something (other than water dilution) that counteracts bleach?



no one's even mentioned that bleach mixed ammonia is also commonly known as mustard gas. please don't say the mixture is not dangerous if it's your opinion.

Please don't say bleach plus ammonia forms mustard gas, when it's
impossible. Mixing it can produce dangerous fumes, but not mustard
gas.


Mostly Cl2 (molecular chlorine gas), but other reactions are also
possible, none of which are particularly pleasant.
