Ammonium ions (<0.5 mg / l) - Excessive concentrations of ammonium ions in water can damage the taste and smell of water and reduce its disinfection efficiency by reducing it. Promotes the growth of algae by creating deposits in pipelines and other sanitary equipment, as well as stains the water greenish. Elevated ammonium concentrations in drinking water may indicate environmental pollution at the source of the water source, the presence of wastewater or agricultural fertilizers in the water. The risk to human health from the use of water with a slightly high amount of ammonium ions is relatively negligible.
