Tips & Warnings

• Wear gloves and mask for your protection!
• If SWALLOWED, ammonia is Highly Toxic
• If INHALED (SNIFFED OR BREATHED IN), ammonia is Highly Toxic
• Ammonia is a gas with an extremely sharp, irritating odor.
• Ammonia is used as an ingredient in cleaning products and smelling salts.
• Humans are regularly exposed to small amounts of ammonia in water, soil and air. This low-level ammonia exposure is not thought to cause long-term health hazards.
• In larger quantities, such as those found in household cleaners, ammonia fumes can pose an immediate hazard to the lungs and skin.
• Ammonia can cause even greater damage if it is mixed with chlorine bleach (or cleaners containing bleach). This mixture forms highly poisonous chloramine gas that cause coughing, choking and lung damage.
• Ammonia fumes can also react with nitrates in the environment to form ammonium nitrate particles, which can linger in the home in dust, carpets, curtains and upholstery. Advised to use outdoors!
• Children are most likely to be exposed to ammonia in household cleaners.
• Without adequate ventilation, ammonia fumes can build and pose a greater danger.
• Children with asthma may be particularly sensitive to ammonia fumes.
