Ammonia leak at Navi Mumbai

Ammonia is used in many cold storages across the country.I have been reading regular reports of ammonia leaks from such facilities in the USA and it is really alarming.

In India, ammonia is manufactured in many large scale ammonia plants in the private as well as public sector. As part of their Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives, these organizations should train the small scale cold storage owners on the hazards of ammonia and its safe handling and maintenance procedures.
