I was awakened from a dead sleep when the refrigeration system on a fish processing boat I was working on developed an ammonia leak. It was the chemical equivalent of a full-on slap in the face--brutal stuff.

One breath of concentrated ammonia vapor, as would be blown out of an AC system, will at the very least badly scar the lungs, and is very likely to kill you outright. This isn't household ammonia solution, it's anhydrous vapor. Very nasy, and a big problem for police rading meth labs. It will also cause severe chemical burns to exposed skin.
