The Impact of Ammonia Pollution on Air Quality and Human Health

Ammonia is a colorless gas that is produced when nitrogen-containing compounds break down in the environment. There are several ways that ammonia can be released into the air, including through agricultural activities, industrial processes, and the burning of fossil fuels. In the atmosphere, ammonia reacts with other gases to form fine particles that can affect air quality and human health. High levels of ammonia in the air can cause irritation of the eyes, nose, and throat, and may trigger asthma attacks. Ammonia can also harm aquatic ecosystems and cause acid rain.

❤️There are several ways to reduce ammonia emissions and improve air quality. Agricultural practices that reduce the amount of nitrogen-based fertilizers used can help to reduce ammonia emissions. Industrial processes that use ammonia can be modified to reduce the amount of ammonia released. And the use of renewable energy sources instead of fossil fuels can also help to reduce ammonia emissions. There are also technologies that can remove ammonia from the air or convert it into other compounds that are less harmful. Do you know about any efforts in your community to reduce ammonia emissions?

Thank you for the information!! I do not, but I figure not using the ammonia cleaning product is a great idea 😂 I know alcohol increases concentration of ammonia in blood!
