I'd sure appreciate it if someone could find some articles detailing why we worry about ammoniacal nitrogen. Does it work the same as any nitrate in the environment making aquatic foliage choke fish or something? Universalss (talk) 17:59, 1 September 2009 (UTC)Reply

Ammoniacal nitrogen or Ammonia-Nitrogen edit

Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

For me, I found the information by US EPA at http://www.epa.gov/caddis/ssr_amm_int.html clearer and more useful. "Ammonia nitrogen includes both the ionized form (ammonium, NH4+) and the unionized form (ammonia, NH3). An increase in pH favors formation of the more toxic unionized form (NH3), while a decrease favors the ionized (NH4+) form." Pawyai (talk) 13:17, 18 January 2015 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal edit

I propose to merge this article into ammonia. The article is weak and poorly sourced. The strong part of the article tried to mimic content already in ammonia. The article begins "Ammoniacal nitrogen (NH₃-N) is a measure for the amount of ammonia, a toxic pollutant". Well, ammonia is essential for life as we know it, so the article is off to a bad start. I think that the article is trying to discuss ammonia as a pollutant, which it probably is, but that aspect is central to our ammonia article. --Smokefoot (talk) 17:07, 18 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
