Ammonia (NH₃) is a colourless gas with a pungent, characteristic odour, highly soluble in water, forming an alkaline solution known as aqueous ammonia. It is a versatile chemical used extensively across agriculture, industry, and household applications. In agriculture, ammonia is a key nitrogen source for fertilizers, boosting crop growth and soil fertility. Industrially, it serves as a raw material in the production of nitric acid, plastics, explosives, and synthetic fibers, and is widely used in refrigeration systems. In households, aqueous ammonia is a common cleaning and deodorizing agent.

Chemical Formula: NH₃
Appearance: Colourless gas or clear solution (aqueous ammonia)
Key Uses: Fertilizer, industrial chemical, refrigerant, cleaning agent
Industries: Agriculture, chemical manufacturing, refrigeration, household cleaning

Health Hazards

Inhalation: Causes irritation of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract; high concentrations can lead to coughing, shortness of breath, pulmonary edema, or respiratory failure.
Skin Contact: Can cause irritation, burns, or frostbite (if stored as a compressed or liquid form).
Eye Contact: Can cause severe irritation or chemical burns, potentially leading to permanent eye damage.
Ingestion: Corrosive; may cause burns to mouth, throat, esophagus, and stomach.

Fire & Explosion Hazards

Flammability: Ammonia gas is flammable at concentrations of 15–28% in air.
Explosion Risk: Forms explosive mixtures with air; may ignite from sparks, heat, or flames.
Decomposition: Can form toxic gases such as nitrogen oxides when exposed to high temperatures.

Environmental Hazards

Toxic to aquatic life at high concentrations.
May cause soil and water alkalinity changes if released in large amounts.

Precautionary Measures

Handle only in well-ventilated areas or with proper fume extraction.
Wear appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE): gloves, goggles, face shield, and protective clothing.
Store in tightly closed containers, away from heat sources and incompatible chemicals (acids, halogens, oxidizers).
Use proper containment and neutralization methods in case of spills.

Uses

1. Agriculture

Fertilizer: Ammonia is a primary source of nitrogen for crops, often applied directly as anhydrous ammonia or used to produce ammonium-based fertilizers like urea and ammonium nitrate.
Soil Treatment: Improves soil fertility and boosts crop yields.

2. Industrial & Chemical Manufacturing

Refrigeration: Used as a refrigerant in industrial refrigeration systems due to its high energy efficiency.
Chemical Production: Key raw material in the manufacture of nitric acid, explosives, plastics, synthetic fibers, and dyes.
pH Control: Used to neutralize acidic waste streams and in water treatment processes.

3. Household & Cleaning

Cleaning Agent: Found in glass cleaners, degreasers, and multi-surface cleaners for its ability to remove grease and stains.
Deodorizer: Helps neutralize odors in household and commercial settings.

4. Food & Beverage Industry

Food Processing: Used in the production of baked goods, chocolate, and as a leavening agent in some cases.
Beverage Treatment: Can be used in controlled processes for pH adjustment.

5. Pharmaceuticals

Drug Production: Intermediate in the manufacture of some medications and active pharmaceutical ingredients.

6. Miscellaneous Uses

Textile Industry: Used in dyeing, bleaching, and textile treatment processes.
Water Treatment: Adjusts pH and removes impurities.
Pollution Control: Used in selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from power plants and vehicles.
