AMMONIA DETECTION BADGES
– AMMONIA CHEMICAL DETECTION DEVICES
DETECT AMMONIA ON THE JOB SITE
Ammonia is most commonly used in agriculture as a fertilizer. It is also used as a precursor in manufacturing specialty products including plastics, explosives, textiles, pesticides, dyes, and other chemicals. In addition, ammonia can also be found in many common household cleaning solutions. Ammonia gas is a respiratory and eye irritant, which may cause burning sensations, coughing, wheezing and headaches, even at low concentrations.
ChromAir and SafeAir Ammonia badges are simple, cost-effective, industry-proven solutions for ammonia detection in the workplace. They use colorimetric technology (i.e. color change) to provide immediate indication when ammonia is present. No need for lab analysis or electronic reader.
BADGES DESIGNED FOR AMMONIA DETECTION
SafeAir Ammonia Badge
- Detects presence of ammonia using a universal warning sign (exclamation mark in triangle)
- Ideal for employee monitoring or leak detection
ChromAir Ammonia Badge
- Indicates range of exposure dose to ammonia using an easy-to-read format
- Ideal for employee or area monitoring

SafeAir Ammonia Badge
(Part#: 382010)
SafeAir Ammonia badges provide an immediate visual indication of exposure to ammonia. When ammonia gas or vapor is present, the exclamation mark in the triangular window on the back side of the badge changes color. The intensity of the color change is proportional to the exposure dose. SafeAir Ammonia badges are a simple, cost-effective solution for ammonia detection in the workplace.

ChromAir Ammonia Badge
(Part#: 380003)
ChromAir Ammonia badges provide an immediate visual indication of exposure dose for ammonia. When exposed to ammonia, a color change forms starting from the bottom cell, and then moving up each cell to the top cell. The highest cell with a color change indicates dose exposure level. ChromAir Ammonia badges are a simple, cost-effective solution for ammonia detection in the workplace.

Area Monitoring
Hang badge for area monitoring
** Badge Clips Sold Separately.
* Final color is humidity dependent. Low humidity final color is black, high humidity final color is green/black.
* The back of the badge (viewing area) should not be exposed to direct sunlight at any time.

– Frequently Asked Questions –
FAQ
Where is Ammonia Used
The majority of ammonia produced by industry is used as a component making up fertilizers for agriculture. It can also be used in the manufacture of certain specialty products (plastics, explosives, textiles, pesticides, dyes, and other chemicals), in the purification of water supplies, and as a refrigerant gas. In addition, many common household cleaning solutions contain ammonia.
What are the health effects of Ammonia exposure?
Ammonia is both an irritant and corrosive. Inhalation of lower concentrations can cause coughing as well as eye, nose and throat irritation. Ammonia’s odor can provide an adequate warning sign of its presence, however continued exposure can result in olfactory fatigue resulting in reduced awareness of one’s prolonged exposure. Exposure to high concentrations of ammonia causes immediate burning of the nose, throat, and respiratory tract resulting in respiratory distress and failure, caustic skin burns, eye swelling with possible loss of vision, and nausea.
What are the exposure limits for Ammonia?
The OSHA PEL (permissible exposure limit) for ammonia is 50 ppm (TWA). The NIOSH REL (recommended exposure limit) is 25 ppm (TWA).
How does an ammonia badge change color?
A color-forming reaction occurs when ammonia reacts with the proprietary indicator layer in SafeAir and ChromAir ammonia detector badges.
