Ammonia is a colorless, strongly irritating alkaline gas, widely used in industry (such as fertilizers, refrigerants), agriculture, and cleaning products. High concentrations or prolonged exposure to ammonia can cause serious, even fatal harm to the human body.
It can quickly cause laryngeal edema, airway burns, pulmonary edema, and severe cases can lead to suffocation, respiratory failure, and even death.
Prolonged exposure: may cause chronic bronchitis, asthma, and decreased lung function
The hazards of ammonia to the human body are rapid, corrosive, and multi-systemic, especially posing direct threats to the eyes, respiratory tract, and skin.
