"Draft for Public Comment" Toxicological Profile for Ammonia CAS# September 2002 TOXICOLOGICAL PROFILE INFORMATION: The ATSDR toxicological profile succintly characterizes the toxicologic and adverse health effects information for the hazardous substance described here. Each peer-reviewed profile identifies and reviews the key literature that describes a hazardous substance's toxicologic properties. Other pertinent literature is also presented, but is described in less detail than the key studies. The complete list of topics covered (chapter titles) is shown at the left and in more detail further down this page. The focus of the profile is on health and toxicologic information. Therefore, each profile begins with a Public Health Statement that summarizes in nontechnical language, a substance's relevant properties. A useful two page information sheet, the ToxFAQs™, is also available.
