	Ammonia - MSN Encarta
		Ammonia was known to the ancients, who derived both the name and the substance from sal ammoniac, which was produced at the Temple of Jupiter Ammon in Libya by the distillation of camel dung.
		Ammonia is an important refrigerant (see Refrigeration) and is widely used in the chemical industries, especially in the manufacture of fertilizer, nitric acid, and explosives.
		Ammonia melts at -77.7° C (-107.9° F), boils at -33.35° C (-28.03° F), and has a density of 0.68 at its boiling point and 1 atmosphere (1,013 millibars) of pressure.

	Ammonia - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Ammonia is found in small quantities in the atmosphere, being produced from the putrefaction of nitrogenous animal and vegetable matter.
		Ammonia is converted to carbamoyl phosphate by the enzyme carbamoyl phosphate synthase, and then enters the urea cycle to be either incorporated into amino acids or excreted in the urine.
		Ammonia reacts violently with the halogens, and causes the explosive polymerization of ethylene oxide.

	ATSDR - MMG: Ammonia
		Ammonia causes rapid onset of a burning sensation in the eyes, nose, and throat, accompanied by lacrimation, rhinorrhea, and coughing.
		Ammonia is a caustic and corrosive chemical that causes irritation and chemical burns upon contact of the gas or liquid with the eyes, skin, respiratory tract, or alimentary canal.
		Ammonia poisoning is not known to pose additional risk during the use of bronchial or cardiac sensitizing agents.

	Ammonia Spills in New York State 1993-1998 Hazardous Substances Emergency Events Surveillance Project
		Ammonia is a corrosive, colorless toxic gas with a sharp odor.
		Therefore, when anhydrous ammonia is released to the air, it may rise and disperse as a gas or it may be heavy and travel along the ground as an aerosol or because it has trapped water vapor.
		Similar numbers of ammonia releases (Table 6) took place in the categories of chemical/metal/equipment manufacturing (29) and food/beverage processing (31), but the number of injuries was much lower in the manufacturing sector (1) than in the food/beverage processing industry (31).

	ammonia-based life
		In the ammonia solvent system, acids and bases are different than in the water system (acidity and basicity are defined relative to the medium in which they are dissolved).
		These center principally upon the fact that the heat of vaporization of ammonia is only half that of water and its surface tension only one third as much.
		Consequently, the hydrogen bonds that exist between ammonia molecule are much weaker than those in water so that ammonia would be less able to concentrate non-polar molecules through a hydrophobic effect.

		Ammonia is a colourless, irritant, reactive gas that is lighter than air (approximately half as heavy).
		Ammonia is mainly released into the environment from the natural breakdown of organic matter and elevated levels can be generated by intensive farming practices.
		Ammonia is produced from the natural breakdown of organic matter and so exposure to ammonia will occur at very low levels throughout the environment.

	ammonia. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		Ammonia reacts with strong acids to form stable ammonium salts: with hydrogen chloride it forms ammonium chloride; with nitric acid, ammonium nitrate; and with sulfuric acid, ammonium sulfate.
		The ammonia sold for household use is a dilute water solution of ammonia in which ammonium hydroxide is the active cleansing agent.
		Ammonia is also used in large amounts in the Ostwald process (see Ostwald, Wilhelm) for the synthesis of nitric acid; in the Solvay process for the synthesis of sodium carbonate; in the synthesis of numerous organic compounds used as dyes, drugs, and in plastics; and in various metallurgical processes.
