Recent studies demonstrate the toxic effect of Ammonia, Hydrogen sulfide and
methane released by natural decomposition of organic matter from wastewater and
mismanagement of manure in farms.

Ammonia and hydrogen sulfide both have direct effects on the respiratory system.
Hydrogen sulfide is considered a broad spectrum poison which means it can poison several systems
in the body. Thus, in addition to possibly additive or synergistic effects on the
respiratory system in the presence of ammonia, there may also be additive effects with other
components resulting from organic decomposition.
