The chemicals present in the water drainage (condensate) from a home air conditioner will include any chemicals present in the air around the condenser. That's the air within the home. Any and all things chemical or very finely divided (microscopic dust particles, pollen, etc.) can (and probably will) end up there. Air is carried over the condenser coils of the AC unit, and everything in the air has a chance to stick to the moist coils as water in air condenses out there. Think it through and it will become obvious. Does anyone smoke in the house? Been cooking? Using hair spray? Did you just paint a room? Put in new carpet? Get a pet? Sweep and/or mop the floor? You get it.
