Ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen with the formula NH3. It is normally encountered as a gas with a characteristic pungent odour.

Ammonia contributes significantly to the nutritional needs of terrestrial organisms by serving as a precursor to foodstuffs and fertilizers. Ammonia, either directly or indirectly, is also a building block for the synthesis of many pharmaceuticals.

Although in wide use, ammonia is both caustic and hazardous. Approximately 83% of ammonia is used as fertilizers. Other applications are commercial cleaning products and Refrigerant equipment.
