Ammonia is a colorless highly irritating gas with a sharp suffocating odor. It dissolves easily in water to form ammonium hydroxide solution which can cause irritation and burns. Ammonia gas is easily compressed and forms a clear, colorless liquid under pressure. It is usually shipped as a compressed liquid in steel cylinders. Ammonia is not highly flammable, but containers of ammonia may explode when exposed to high heat.
Ammonia is the only common alkaline gas. Its density is about half that of air and it has a characteristic smell. Its maximum safe level is 25ppm but its alkalinity makes it highly reactive with acid gases and chlorine and its presence in atmospheres containing other gases is often masked by this.
