  2. Ammonia pollution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia_pollution

    Ammonia in salt water ecosystems will have similar effects on fish as ammonia in freshwater ecosystems. Another aquatic animal that is affected by increasing amounts of ammonia is coral. Coral are very important for diversity in oceans and increasing concentrations of ammonia in the water is harming the bacteria that are found on the coral. [27]

  3. Fertilizer burn - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fertilizer_burn

    Use of a fertilizer that produces or has excess ammonia. The ammonia pulls water from the roots. The plant will respond as it does in a drought and this will cause a fertilizer burn by starving the plant from water. [8] [9] Each of these five causes can be grouped into one of three explanations of the fertilizer burns:

  4. Ammonia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ammonia

    Ammonia readily dissolves in water. In an aqueous solution, it can be expelled by boiling. The aqueous solution of ammonia is basic, and may be described as aqueous ammonia or ammonium hydroxide. [30] The maximum concentration of ammonia in water (a saturated solution) has a specific gravity of 0.880 and is often known as '.880 ammonia'. [31]

    The toxicity of ammonia is dependent on both pH and temperature and an added complexity is the buffering effect of the blood/water interface across the gill membrane which masks any additional toxicity over about pH 8.0. The management of river chemistry to avoid ecological damage is particularly difficult in the case of ammonia as a wide range ...
