- jamesaguilar 13y agoAmmonium hydroxide is not a dangerous chemical. It is generally regarded as safe by the FDA (that's the FDA's lowest level of regulation, along with chemicals like sodium chloride and dihydrogen oxide).
- hellrich 13y agoThousands die each year due to dihydrogen oxide. It may be safe to ingest, yet if you inhale it there's little hope...
- coldtea 13y agoHow much of what FDA approves is due to lobbying and lowering of standards? Of the kind that no FDA guy would like to feed his children with those if he had an alternative?
- jamesaguilar 13y agoDon't know. You could ask this question about any chemical. That doesn't make it actually dangerous.
