What is Ammonia?
Ammonia is an inorganic compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the chemical formula NH3. It is a colorless substance with a characteristic odor that is often compared to the smell of rotten eggs.

It is frequently used in its dissolved form as a cleaner in households and industries, mainly due to its effectiveness in removing dirt and grease. The concentration of ammonia solutions can vary, but household solutions typically contain between 5% and 10% ammonia.

Applications of Ammonia
Ammonia plays a crucial role in various sectors due to its chemical composition and wide range of applications. It is an alkaline solution that reacts effectively with acids, making it an essential substance for neutralizing acidic solutions in the chemical industry.

In the agricultural sector, ammonia is used as a source of nitrogen, an essential nutrient for plants. It promotes growth and increases crop productivity, contributing to the global food supply. Its solubility in water also makes it suitable for application via irrigation systems.

In the cleaning industry, the solution is valued for its ability to effectively remove grease and dirt. This makes it a popular choice for cleaning hard surfaces such as windows, mirrors, and stainless steel, leaving a bright, streak-free shine.

Furthermore, ammonia solution is used as a refrigerant in refrigeration plants, thanks to its high heat transfer properties and efficiency in refrigeration cycles. This makes it a vital component in the food processing industry, where it contributes to the preservation of food through cooling.

Working Safely with Ammonia
Ammonia is a corrosive substance, which means it can cause burns. In addition, the substance is also toxic both when ingested and inhaled. It is therefore important to wear the correct personal protective equipment when working with this substance.

Always work in a well-ventilated area and keep dust away from metals. Ammonia can be corrosive to certain metals and lead to material damage. The substance should also not be allowed to enter water bodies such as ponds because it can cause ecological damage.
