Type of article: Article
Summary
The use of ammonia should be planned with knowledge and real experience, not with ignorance and negative expectations; otherwise no-one benefits. Human physiology is based on air and water, but many other natural substances are present in trace quantities. According to Paracelsus (a physician), all substances are poisonous, only the dose determines the effect. Ammonia's properties are substantially different from other substances often used as comparison. It is insufficient to refer to it as "toxic and explosive".
