Anhydrous Ammonia (NH3) Spill Anhydrous ammonia (NH3) is widely used in industries, but its dangers demand respect. Here’s what you need to know: Health Risks: Ammonia is highly corrosive. Inhalation can cause severe respiratory discomfort, while contact can result in skin burns and even blindness. Fire and Explosion Risks: Although ammonia is generally not flammable, in high concentrations and specific conditions, it poses explosion risks due to the release of hydrogen gas at high temperatures. Accidental Releases: Leaks often result from overpressure, spills, or equipment failures, creating toxic plumes heavier than air, posing significant offsite risks. These incidents can impact not only personnel but also nearby communities, as seen in the 2007 Seward video. #chemicalhazmat #hazmatindustrial #hazmatportugal #hazmatclass #hazmat #ammonia
