Ammonia (NH3) is a colorless gas with a pungent, suffocating odor. Ammonia (NH3) is found throughout the environment in the air, soil, plants, animals, and humans.
Symptoms of Ammonia poisoning can be a cough, chest pain, burning of the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract, difficulty breathing, and wheezing. Ammonia is lighter than air, so the recommended mounting level is roughly 12″ from the ceiling or highest points of an enclosed area.
