Can you buy small cylinders of nitrogen for home brew?

Supplier: Look for suppliers that specialize in providing gases and equipment for home brewing or beverage dispensing. They should be able to guide you on the appropriate size and type of nitrogen cylinder for your needs. Cylinder Size: Typically, nitrogen cylinders for home use come in smaller sizes suitable for home brewers. The size you choose will depend on the volume of beverages you plan to dispense and how often you will use it. Safety and Handling: It's important to follow safety guidelines for handling compressed gases. Always store and handle the nitrogen cylinder in a well-ventilated area, away from heat or flames, and secure it in an upright position. Regulator and Dispensing Equipment: You'll also need a nitrogen regulator and appropriate dispensing equipment that connects to the nitrogen cylinder and allows you to control the pressure and flow of nitrogen into your beverages. Local Regulations and Laws: Be aware of any local regulations or requirements related to the purchase, storage, or usage of compressed gases like nitrogen.

Is pet urine unhealthy for a baby?

Yes, and it is unhealthy for everyone within the home. Pet urine causes odors when it dries and leaves bacteria contaminated salt deposits in the carpet. If it is a cat, what you are smelling is the ammonia created by the cat urine. Ammonia in high concentrations is not good for you or your newborn baby. All-in-all any kind of pet urine creates an unhealthy home environment.


What is the maximum ammonia level that's safe to put new fish in a tank?

Ammonia levels should be at zero. Ammonia is never safe to have in an aquarium especially new fish. Transporting a fish generally causes some stress for them and with the addition of a water problem in their new home it could prove fatal. If this is a brand new tank it would be wise to cycle it fully before adding a fish.

What are side effects of breathing cat urine ammonia?

Actually, strong ammonia from cat urine can be dangerous if it is in high enough concentration. You can experience a loss of sense of smell, increased heart rate, irritation to the eyes and mucous membranes, lung irritation and coughing, and nausea. Ammonia itself in liquid form is corrosive and in the body is destructive to the cells. I'm not aware of the dangers of breathing it over a long period of time, I found this question as I was looking up the dangers myself because I know someone close to me who "gets used to" the smell quickly when they go home (loss of sense of smell). I visited recently and found myself unable to get used to the smell (was there about 30 minutes) but experienced some slight nausea and an increased heart rate, which alarmed me and made me want to look this up. Look up the dangers of inhaling ammonia fumes and you'll have your answer. With what I've learned so far, it can't be good over a long period of time.
