A method is presented for estimating maximum allowable total ammonla nitrogen (NH,-N) in saline waters (brackish water and seawater) when the allowable upper limit of free ammonia nitrogen (NH,-N) is known.The experimental p K data of Khoo et al. (1977) were used to make a graph and tables showing the ratio of NH,-N to NH,-N as a function of pH, temperature, and salinity.' Contribution No. 39, Sea Research Foundation, Inc " As used here, 'ammonia' is synonymous with total ammonia (measured as total ammonia nitrogen, or NH4-N), which is the sum of NH, and NH:.Concentrations of all 3 ordinarily are expressed as nitrogen (NH,-N, NHZ-N, NH,-N) O Inter-Research/Printed in F.
