Minor Injury resulting in first aid or observation. Acute injury (Serious burns and or Inhalation) Disability. Fatality. Skin: Mild exposure may form highly corrosive Ammonium solutions on moist tissue such as the following but not limited to; Skin, Eyes, Mucus membranes Including Respiratory system, Throat, Sinuses, Urethra, anus. Patients exposed to only mild ammonia gas and have no skin or eye irritation do not necessarily require decontamination unless advised by lead agency or medical professional.
