Description

Ambient air quality objectives are established as part of the Alberta air quality management system. The purpose of this assessment report was to provide a review of scientific and technical information to assist in evaluating the basis and background for an ambient air quality objective for ammonia. Ammonia is a naturally occurring, colourless, acrid-smelling gas. It is volatile and highly watersoluble. On a global scale, more than 99% of the ammonia present in the atmosphere is the result of natural processes.
