Chloramines are used to disinfect residential water supplies. I believe if you mix chlorine and ammonia, you get cyanogen chloride, which is toxic.

- amluto 4y agoYou would need nuclear chlorine :). Neither chlorine, water, nor ammonia contain carbon, so they can’t react to form anything containing carbon. Chlorine reacts with ammonia to form monochloramine, which is fairly innocuous. Monochloramine reacts with more chlorine to form dichloramine and nitrogen trichloride, which are stinky and potentially dangerous.
