Answer
Ammonia poses several hazards including respiratory irritation, chemical burns to skin and eyes, and potential lung damage from inhalation. Mixing ammonia with bleach creates toxic chloramine gas. At high concentrations, it can cause blindness, permanent lung damage, or be fatal. Always use ammonia in well-ventilated areas and wear protective equipment when handling concentrated forms.
