Description of key information

Additional information

No data are required. This endpoint is not relevant for an inorganic substance. Ammonia is environmentally ubiquitous as a consequence of natural degradation processes and animal excretion and has a critical role in the nitrogen cycle. When introduced into the aquatic environment, ammonia is rapidly converted into other nitrogenous forms under aerobic conditions. The major processes include fixation, assimilation, ammonification, nitrification and denitrification. Fluoride will exist in a number of different forms (inorganic and organic) and will be incorporated into various mineral species, influenced by soil composition and pH.
