The Pinney Purdue Ag Center (PPAC) Field Day yesterday was a great opportunity for Educator Ann Kline to teach anhydrous ammonia (NH₃) safety. Hands-on demonstrations are effective to communicate the dangers of NH₃ and the critical importance of having water available!

Did you know there are 3 ways NH₃ can cause injury?
1. It is extremely cold and can freeze skin and other tissues.
2. It seeks water. “Anhydrous” means without water. When NH₃ reacts with moisture in our bodies, it can dehydrate and damage skin, eyes, and more.
3. It is highly alkaline. Contact can cause serious caustic burns to skin and eyes, and tissues.

The demonstrations at PPAC reinforce some important safety messages:
Slow down.
Know safety procedures.
Have water available.
And respect anhydrous ammonia each time you handle it.
