There are different kinds of tears with different functions. Some for lubricating the eye and some for expelling an irritation. The third group "Emotional tears" are the least understood and their chemical makeup consists of proteins and hormones, some secreted by the pituitary gland. Proteins are made of amino acid chains and when proteins are broken down then ammonia is a byproduct. This could account for the strong ammonia smell of intense emotional tear production.
