The ways in which anhydrous ammonia may accidentally escape to the atmosphere from refrigerated or pressurized containment are systematically reviewed. The circumstances in which the ammonia may form part of a mixture which is buoyant, neutrally buoyant, or denser than air are described and for each mode of release there is a discussion of the likely density of the resulting ammonia cloud.
