- diggernet 6y agoYes, you can smell it, when drastically diluted in water (which, as you say, is stable) such as for a household cleaner. But in a concentrated form such as that required for use as fuel, if you smell it, it will kill you. Quickly.
- corty 6y agoAlso, water-free Ammonia is gaseous at room temperature, you have to transport it in pressurized containers. Should one of those rupture, all the Ammonia will boil off, creating a nice cloud of fun for all involved. Neutralizing it works by spraying acetic or hydrochloric acid, which is not quite as bad, but still quite ugly.
