OSTI ID:6336539
As of 12/1/80, the EPA has made effective the withdrawal of its proposal to add ammonia to the toxic pollutants list following an evaluation of public comments. EPA has deemed that although ammonia is acutely and chronically toxic to aquatic life, it is not persistent in the aquatic environment and poses no human health threat at levels typically found in ambient water as a result of point source discharges.
