Extensive amounts of anything will kill people.
Yes, ammonia can kill you. The amount needed will vary depending on 2 factors.
1) The concentration of the gas
2) The size of the person involved
**1) Farmers use a concentrated form of ammonia called Anhydrous ammonia. It is usually stored in white tanks on the farm and it is used as a fertilizer. Exposure can cause a burning sensations to your eyes, nose, mouth and throat. It causes destruction on a cellular level and will cause the person to go into respiratory failure and death. Ammonia that is kept in your home is not as concentrated as what the farmers use, however if ammonia is mixed with bleach (any type) there is a chemical reaction that gives off chlorine gas which is highly toxic. So NEVER mix or use ammonia and bleach together.
**2) Obviously children that are exposed to the same amount of ammonia as an adult will have worse reactions, simply because there body is smaller.
