Please be aware that this old REACH registration data factsheet is no longer maintained; it remains frozen as of 19th May 2023.
The new ECHA CHEM database has been released by ECHA, and it now contains all REACH registration data. There are more details on the transition of ECHA's published data to ECHA CHEM here.

Description of key information
Additional information
Atmospheric levels of ammonia in urban areas around the world are on average about 20 pg/m3. Non-urban sites have average levels of 4-5pg/m3. Areas close to point sources (e.g., large animal feedlots or industrial sites) may have local atmospheric concentrations exceeding 200pg/m3. Limited data are available on the concentrations of ammonia in soil. In general, natural levels in soil are low (< 1 mg/kg) because of the rapid conversion of ammonia to nitrite and nitrate by Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter, respectively. Several studies have been conducted to measure conditions in the injection zone following the field application of anhydrous ammonia. These studies commonly show in excess of 1000 mg/L of ammonia nitrogen and a pH more than 9.0 in the center of the injection zone. These effects rapidly decrease as the distance from the injection point increases, e.g., at 7 cm the ammonium concentration and pH levels are not usually above background.
Information on Registered Substances comes from registration dossiers which have been assigned a registration number. The assignment of a registration number does however not guarantee that the information in the dossier is correct or that the dossier is compliant with Regulation (EC) No 1907/2006 (the REACH Regulation). This information has not been reviewed or verified by the Agency or any other authority. The content is subject to change without prior notice.
