This tube is suitable for the passive monitoring of Ammonia (NH3), due to the very low detection limits our diffusion tubes are able to detect even slight levels of Ammonia pollution if present.

Sources of Ammonia in ambient air:

• Decaying organic matter – e.g. sewage.
• Agriculture – particularly cattle, pig and poultry farms, application of slurry.
• Fertilisers.
• Manufacturing – plastics, pharmaceuticals, rubber, petrochemicals.
• Industrial and combustion processes.
• Catalytic converters

Potential implications Ammonia pollution:

• Unpleasant odour.
• Damage to vegetation.
• Soil acidification.
• Conservation areas are at risk of Ammonia deposition – heathland, moorland, bogs – pollution may cause a change in plant species
