...Beeps. In Viet Nam, the ammonia is produced by groups of perspiring men. Urea, a component of perspiration, is attacked by bacteria on the skin and decomposed into odorless carbon dioxide and ammonia gas. Thus the air in the vicinity of a large group of men-especially in hot and humid climates-contains high concentrations of ammonia. To detect the ammonia, the E63 scoops up air, passes it over a wick saturated with hydrochloric acid and into a humidifying chamber. If the air contains any ammonia, a fog forms, changing the amount of light shining on a photoelectric cell...
