New Polymer Captures Ammonia Preventing Air Pollution Image Credit: Heloisa Bordallo, The Niels Bohr Institute A newly developed polymer could trap ammonia, preventing it from polluting the atmosphere, thus improving human health considerably.  Ammonia is a toxic gas that is a major source of air pollution that can harm human health. The compound of nitrogen and hydrogen is a byproduct of both agriculture and industry, and even though it is harmful enough alone  —  causing damage to eyes, throats, and even in extreme circumstances death  —  when it reacts with other air pollutant...
