Ammonia ChromAir Chemical Exposure Monitoring Badges
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 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.
Features:
- Immediate on-site results
- Easy-to-read color changing indicators
- Direct-read exposure data with immediate response times for short-term measurements
- Measures TWA exposure
- Patented design minimizes effects of humidity and velocity
- Light-weight and cost effective for personnel and area monitoring
