A quick Google search does show studies that have been focused on exposure to chloroform in pools. I have no idea about the quantification of that, and I don't know what would happen if pool water was left in a trunk of a car but it is a known issue.
I don't understand how so much chloroform could have gotten into the trunk whichever way. Casey must have really soaked the rag (poor Caylee) or had the bottle tip over in the trunk.
To help shed some light on this in my personal experience the answer is, nothing.
I have an inground pool and do my own maintenance, on several occasions I have bought 50lb buckets of chlorine tablets & shock in quantity at Sams club and left them sitting in the trunk waiting for my dh to unload them for me over night or longer, in both my van and his sedan, and I can hardly smell them, I have taken pool water samples to Pinch a Penny for testing and left them sitting in the car because I forgot and they never did they smell.
I have visited friends homes to go for a swim with my son and forgot to unload the towels and swimsuits from the trunk and they only smelled moldy from the water, no chlorine smell.
It's my understanding that the A's did not use pool chlorine, they used an organic system, so the DT is barking up the wrong tree, I think that JA needs to point this out on his cross.
