Physiological Reactions & Effects of Ammonia Exposure On The Body

This program delivers essential training on the health risks and physiological reactions to ammonia exposure. It provides personnel with critical knowledge on exposure thresholds, bodily responses, and necessary safety measures.
 
What You'll Learn
Exposure Levels: Covers the Rule of Fives and AEGL charts, detailing effects from mild irritation (25 ppm) to immediately dangerous (IDLH at 300 ppm) and fatal concentrations.
Health Effects: Understands how inhaled ammonia impacts major body systems:
Eyes: Causes irritation, tearing, and potential blindness.
Respiratory: Leads to burning, coughing, spasms, and fluid buildup in the lungs.
Internal Organs: Ammonia entering the bloodstream can affect the heart, and the liver filters it out. It can also damage brain cells (neurotoxin).
Skin: Risk of chemical burns from high-concentration vapor (10,000 ppm) or liquid contact.
Overall Safety Takeaways: Emphasizes the critical importance of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including respirators and chemical goggles, to prevent injury and save lives.
