Anhydrous Ammonia Safety V2.6 Course
Anhydrous Ammonia is a clear, colorless gas at a standard temperature and pressure conditions and it is an important source of nitrogen fertilizer for crops.The improper handling of Anhydrous Ammonia can have catastrophic results on both plants and farm workers.Common injuries are severe burns to eyes, skin and the respiratory tract.
"Ammonia is considered a high health hazard because it is corrosive to the skin, eyes, and lungs. Exposure to 300 ppm is immediately dangerous to life and health. Ammonia is also flammable at concentrations of approximately 15% to 28% by volume in air. When mixed with lubricating oils, its flammable concentration range is increased. It can explode if released in an enclosed space with a source of ignition present, or if a vessel containing anhydrous ammonia is exposed to fire. Fortunately, ammonia has a low odor threshold (20 ppm), so most people will seek relief at much lower concentrations. Ammonia refrigeration is addressed in specific standards for the general industry."
