Ammonia is considered a high health hazard because it is corrosive to the skin, eyes, and lungs. Exposure to 300 ppm is immediately dangerous to life and health. Ammonia fumes can ignite and explode if released in an enclosed space with a source of ignition present, or if a vessel containing anhydrous ammonia is exposed to fire. A response plan developed with a highly specialized contractor like Moran Environmental Recovery prior to an incident is critical for companies in specific industries who deal with anhydrous ammonia.
