    Explanation:

    Both statements are correct.

    Industrial Ammonia

    • A tri-hydroid of nitrogen (NH3), ammonia is a building block for ammonium nitrate (NH4NO3) that is used in agriculture as a high-nitrogen fertiliser.
    • Ammonia, which is highly soluble in water, is found in soil, air, and water.
    • It is naturally present in the body and secreted by the kidneys to neutralise excess acid.
    • However, it is highly diluted when in the environment and does not affect the human body to a noticeable level.
    • Ammonia gas is toxic and affects the lungs with a possibility of causing chemical pneumonitis, inflammation of the lung caused by aspirating or inhaling irritants.

    Hence option 3rd is correct.
