Narrative:
Rejected takeoff, den, runway 34 (12000 ft long) at 130 KTS, V1 134 KTS. Problem due to fog density smoke in passenger cabin, from air conditioning system. Caused by deicing fluid type 1. After clearing runway, had so go back into cabin to confirm cause was deicing fluid and not some other substance that would be toxic to passenger. Deicing fluid odor was also confirmed by air carrier captain sitting in passenger cabin. Taxied back to gate, smoke began clearing. Passenger were deplaned at gate. Maintenance logbook entry made. Excessive amount of deicing fluid was found.
