At what PPM should alarms be triggered for ammonia?

The appropriate level to trigger alarms for ammonia is 35 PPM. This standard is established to ensure safety in environments where ammonia is used or stored, particularly in refrigeration systems.

Ammonia is a hazardous substance, and exposure to even low concentrations can pose serious health risks. The threshold at which alarms are set at 35 PPM allows for early detection and response to potential leaks, helping to protect facility operators, workers, and the surrounding community from the dangers associated with ammonia exposure.

This level is aligned with safety regulations and guidelines, ensuring that appropriate measures can be taken to mitigate risks before they escalate into more dangerous situations. By setting the alarm at this level, facility operators can effectively manage safety concerns and maintain a secure working environment.
