I have lived in my home for two years and lost my sense of smell after living here for 3 months. I have also had sinus infections non-stop since I moved here. Just last week we decided to switch the carpet on the second level. We were shocked at what we found. When lifting the carpet we saw cat urine covering the entire carpet. The underpadding smelled very strong. It was then that I thought about the fact that I have been coughing, not being able to smell, and catching every cold since we moved into this house.
what!?! there are dangers?? now u tell me. fml
Yes. Inhaling Ammonia is extremely dangerous. Ammonia is a poison. It can kill you.
Extreme cases, death. It can reverse the action of glutamate dehydrogenase and lower the NADH + H+ energy carrier. Ammonia is also caustic and will lead to tissue damage.
Diffusion occurs naturally, and technically they are not fumes. Fumes are the condensates of metals. Ammonia vapors are what you smell.
Death, dying, near death, critical health risk, lethal toxicity, deceasing, kicking the bucket, slow painful agony, just for a few....

Dioxin poisoning. Cancer from plastic fibers.
Dodgy to say the least! Carbon Monoxide in the fumes is the main poison. It will kill you very quickly!

Inhaling ammonia can cause irritation/burning of the throat, nose, and respiratory tract. In low concentration, this usually just leads to coughing, but in high concentration, it can lead to airway destruction and even respiratory failure.
Short term exposure to inhaling plastic fumes will not cause negative effects on a person's health. If the fumes are inhaled over long periods of time a medical evaluation should be done.
Possibly.
Death!

Inhailing ammonia fumes can cause brain damage, damage to the lungs, or even death.
