I really don't think diapers can do that. Somebody really needs to re-establish what really happen. Besides, what are they gonna do ban all diapers in the school.

A bit of bleach on the rag and what do you get?

Ammonia + Bleach

Wow, that was out by me too, and I didn't even hear about it.

I wonder what was on the " cleaning rag" that reacted with the ammonia in the diapers? or was it the ammonia... There are alot of possibilities... I cant wait to hear more...

I worked for a small chemical supplyer in the 70's and we had one guy there who used to make bleach bombs, so much amonia, and bleach in a glass container with a lid, shake it and throw it at something, to brake the glass an awful stink...not goo for the lungs...

Actually, the body makes ammonia during the metabolism of protiens. It then converts ammonia into urea, which is excreted in the urine. In a diaper, bacteria begin to further breakdown the urea back into ammonia.

Try this... Take a wet diaper that you've worn for a few hours at least. Wrap it up tight, and lay it out in the sun for a while. Open it up and smell...

Okay, I get it. Your a smarty pants. LOL

Mixing bleach and ammonia makes a kind of mustard gas, which is defiantly NOT a good thing.

People cleaning their bathrooms sometimes mix the 2 thinking that more chemicals makes for a cleaner bathroom, when using this mixture in the tub (IE enclosed space) they would pass out from the fumes, not good at all.

Mustard gas was used a lot in combat during WW1, to the detriment of many many fighting men in the trenches. it tore up thier lungs and eyes....terrible stuff. Please becareful when mixing even household chemicals, if you don't know what your doing, it could become a serious mistake!

A side effect of mustard-gas usage during WW1 was that the areas where it was used were found to be exceptionally fertile for a year or two later because of the concentrated nitrogen distributed by the gas (ammonia is primarily nitrogen). Consequently, American farmers now use anhydrous ammonia on large plantings (corn, mostly, because it's a serious nitrogen sucker) that otherwise wouldn't grow in what is effectively nutrient-depleted soil. Ammonia = bad to breathe but good for plants. Go figure. Jury's still out on whether or not its harmful to eat ammonia-sprayed crops, though.

I read this on line some where yesterday and I think they said it was some sort of solvent on the rags that reacted with the plastic and then the ammonia,I think they were also talking about chlorine being mixed in as well.
