Why is ammonia (NH₃) considered a toxic refrigerant?


It is flammable and can form explosive mixtures with air
It is highly irritating to the respiratory tract and toxic if inhaled
It is colourless and odourless, so it is difficult to detect
It does not react with water, which makes it difficult to neutralise
