Ammonia is a combination of nitrogen and hydrogen elements, easily soluble in water and very pungent odor. Ammonia, which has an extremely bad odor, has no color and shows a weak base.

The latent heat of gasification of ammonia is very high and is used as a cooling agent in industrial plants. Since the freezing degree is very low, it is present as a gas under room conditions.

Ammonia is also used in the formulations of cleaning agents. However, it is a very toxic substance for living things, so you should be careful when using these products.

Ammonia is mainly used in the first stage in the synthesis of substances such as fertilizers, perfumes, dyes and medicines. Ammonia molecules can easily form weak hydrogen bonds with water molecules as well. Therefore, ammonia dissolves rapidly in water.

In general, commercially available materials under the name ammonia are ammonium hydroxide, the water-soluble form of ammonia.

Ammonia measurement and analysis carried out only by laboratories accredited by national and international accreditation bodies is of value. Laboratories are based on EPA CTM-027 standard prepared by Environmental Protection Agency for the determination of ammonia in these flue gas emissions.

Laboratories operating in our country also perform their studies in accordance with the standards of TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 General Conditions for the Competence of Testing and Calibration Laboratories.

Ammonia gas emitted by the enterprises to the atmosphere through the chimney carries a great danger in terms of both human health and environmental conditions. The enterprises are kept under control in accordance with the provisions of the Regulation on Health and Safety Measures in Working with Chemical Substances issued by the Ministry of Labor and Social Security and the Regulation on the Control of Industrial Air Pollution issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forestry.
