Ammonium in solutions can be conveniently and rapidly measured by these test strips.
Reliable determination can be promptly carried out with all the basic reagents that accompany the test kit.
Animal and plant matter biologically decays to form ammonium naturally. This can be used as an indicator to control the water supply.
Ammonium compounds in ground and surface water may cause adverse pollution that can be measured by this test.
An assorted type of compost and manure can also be tested to determine the amount of ammonium nitrogen in agriculture, where high concentrations can be found.
High levels of ammonium may also be found in industrial effluent.
Although naturally harmless, ammonium can poison aquatic life by turning into life threatening NH₃ gas depending on the pH. Fish will not survive above levels of 1 mg/L of ammonium.
Reliable, rapid and convenient measurement of ammonium is possible with J-QUANT Ammonium 400 test strips.
