Mixing bleach with acid-containing cleaners or ammonia produces dangerous gases, but the claim that mixing Lysol and bleach produces chlorine gas is a well-established piece of chemical and household safety common knowledge that does not require citation.

The analysis

The provided retrieved papers do not discuss the chemical reaction between Lysol and bleach (sodium hypochlorite), focusing instead on unrelated topics like microalgae, face masks, biofilms, cellulose nanofibers, and medical or food processing antimicrobials. However, the claim itself describes a straightforward, well-known chemical fact regarding household cleaning hazards (mixing sodium hypochlorite bleach with certain other cleaners releases toxic gases such as chlorine or chloramines). Therefore, this is categorized as common knowledge where no citation is needed.
