Ammonia is very important for living organisms.
It is found in air, soil and water, and is a source of nitrogen for plants and animals. Ammonia is recycled naturally and does not last very long in the environment. Ammonia is usually found at home in the form of fertilizers, cleaning and bleaching agents such as window cleaners, and floor wax strippers. Exposure to this range of ammonia concentrations is sufficient to cause irritation and minor burns of mouth, throat, skin and eyes if left unattended. Please keep ammonia-containing products out of the reach of small children.
