Ammonia storage hazards and uses
As a molecule, ammonia is corrosive to the face, eyes and respiratory system and has a strong affinity for areas of the body where moisture is present. Ammonia is a powerful inhalation hazard. It is considered immediately dangerous to life and health (IDLH) in the 300 to 500 parts per million (PPM) range.
Protect Against the Hazards of Cold Storage – Environmental
A Midwest producer of soybeans sustained a large ammonia release when the piping on their above-ground storage tank failed causing the release of approximately 5,000 lbs of liquid ammonia and additional ammonia vapor. As a result, clean-up costs were incurred and a number of people at a neighboring facility complained of respiratory issues as a result of the release.
