Ammonia (NH3) is a toxic and corrosive gas with a colorless, creamy odor and is heavier than air. It is a chemical compound consisting of nitrogen and hydrogen. Even ammonia diluted with water (ammonium hydroxide) is very corrosive. Ammonia, whether in the gas state or in liquefied form, causes burns if it contacts skin and eyes. When ammonia is mixed with air, it becomes a flammable mixture. In addition, ammonia gas combines with the moisture in the air to precipitate on the ground.

It was originally thought to have been built near the temple of Amon in the 1770 years, and that is why it was called ammonia, inspired by the Egyptian god Amon. Ammonia is obtained as a secondary product in gas and coke factories. Today, it is synthetically derived from air nitrogen. When proteins in humans and animals are broken down, ammonia is released and excreted in the urine. With the decomposition of animal and vegetable proteins, a small amount of ammonia is emitted into the air.

The latent heat of gasification of ammonia compound is very high and it is used as refrigerant in industrial plants. They are usually in the form of gas under room conditions.

In addition, the starting material is used to synthesize substances in the production of ammonia, pharmaceuticals, dyes, perfumes and fertilizers. Ammonia is also used in cleaning agents.

However, because ammonia is a toxic substance for all living things, it must be used consciously. Very easily soluble in water. Ammonia gas causes poisoning if inhaled directly. Drinking of liquids mixed with ammonia also causes poisoning. Symptoms of poisoning include shortness of breath, vomiting and diarrhea. In addition, ammonia gas causes pulmonary edema and bronchitis. Measurements that determine the amount of ammonia in air and liquids are carried out by authorized laboratories.

Our company also performs ammonia (NH3) measurements within the scope of gas measurements. In these studies In accordance with the relevant legal regulations, standards and test methods published by domestic and foreign organizations.

In the meantime, our organization, ÖSAS Accreditation Agency, It is accredited according to TS EN ISO / IEC 17025 standard and the tests, measurement, analysis, inspection and inspection procedures and reports are accepted as valid in private and official audits.
