Ammonia - Chemical of the Month

We get called out for a call involving ammonia. You're the first person there, and you're ready to go in. But are you? The right gear and apparel may not be what you have. Todd Smith and Milton Painter dive deep into ammonia and tell us the correct response to this threat.
Follow along as we run the HazMatIQ system to find out how to assess the threat, determine the chemical, and respond properly.

Very informative and this is great...thank you guys.... I'm on a hazmat team in Broward County and all this information is very helpful

[@dlsousa0919]

Very informative video guys, however, I have one concern. Fogging down the ammonia vapor with water is going to create large amounts, although diluted, of ammonium hydroxide. I don't think that we should treat the hazards that this liquid poses to surrounding responders as well as the environment. I certainly wouldn't want gallons of this running into a stormwater drain and into a local body of water. Sites should plan on what they would do to control this run-off and prevent it from getting into the environment.

Great Job Gentlemen.

Will you guys do a refresher on this one please? I❤NH3

It is only flammable in concentrations of 16-25% in air.

[@justinschrey7481]

I have not had any luck getting formal training for the hazmatIQ system through Federal Resources, does anyone out there have any contacts to help me out? Thanks

[@jordanrobertson7824]

It's non flammable for DOT because reaching the LEL outdoors is extremely unlikely. Indoors is another story.

While you play around with your fancy charts, I will just go shut off the valve at the tank.

yupp LVL A suites and trained personnel . Ammonia is no joke. (Trivia question.... Liquid ammonia will shrink a dollar bill so it will look like monopoly money. Do you know why that is?
