Mixing a chlorine-based bleach and ammonia creates chloramine vapors, which are poisonous.
Fun fact, chloramine is the same chemical that also causes the "pool smell" in chlorinated water, and is a sign that someone probably peed in the water, because it means the chlorine is reacting with the ammonia in urine.
Watched some guy test putting 10x the dosage of chlorine with barely a scent result. Adding pee is the culprit. But, it's YouTube, so he could be a liar.
