Ammonia

Deutsch: Ammoniak / Español: Amoníaco / Português: Amônia / Français: Ammoniac / Italiano: Ammoniaca

Ammonia in the environmental context refers to a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. It is a colorless gas with a characteristic pungent smell. Ammonia occurs naturally in the environment from the decomposition of organic matter and is also produced by industrial processes. In the environment, ammonia plays a crucial role in the Nitrogen cycle, a fundamental ecological process that involves the conversion of nitrogen in various chemical forms into compounds that can be used by living organisms.
