E-Nose-Driven Advancements in Ammonia Gas Detection: A Comprehensive Review from Traditional to Cutting-Edge Systems in Indoor to Outdoor Agriculture

Abstract

Ammonia (NH3) represents a perilous gas that poses a substantial hazard to both human well-being and the environment, particularly within agricultural regions. Agricultural activities constitute a primary source of ammonia emissions. Thus, effective monitoring and measurement of ammonia sources in agriculture are imperative for mitigating its adverse impact. However, not all existing ammonia detection methods are suitable for discerning the low concentrations typically encountered in agricultural ammonia volatilizing (ranging from 0.01 to 5 parts per million). Consequently, curtailing ammonia volatilization from farmland assumes paramount importance, with real-time monitoring serving as a crucial mechanism for assessing environmental contamination and minimizing agricultural ammonia losses. Deploying appropriate detection methodologies ensures that requisite measures are taken to safeguard human health and the environment from the deleterious repercussions of ammonia exposure. The present paper introduces a comprehensive approach to detecting and analyzing ammonia in agricultural settings. It elucidates the merits and demerits of conventional indoor and outdoor ammonia detection methods, juxtaposing them with the innovative technology of Electronic nose (E-nose). Within the paper, seven widely employed ammonia detection methods in farmland are scrutinized and compared against traditional techniques. Additionally, the constructional aspects and distinct components of E-nose are meticulously delineated and appraised. Ultimately, the paper culminates in a comprehensive comparative analysis encompassing all the aforementioned methodologies, elucidating the potential and limitations of E-nose in facilitating ammonia detection endeavors within agricultural contexts.

Resistive gas sensors for the detection of NH3 gas based on 2D WS2, WSe2, MoS2, and MoSe2: a review

“…Effects of NH 3 on human and animal health [12]. Reproduced from [12]. CC BY 4.0. low boiling point of −33.3 • C, can be easily maintained in the liquid state relative to H 2 or methane gases [6][7][8].…”

“…Enhanced levels of reactive nitrogen have led to a cascade of effects, such as decreased biodiversity and the pollution of drinking water and groundwater [10]. In particular, NH 3 contributes to air pollution and climate change and has negative impacts on human and animal health (figure 2) [11,12]. Moreover, NH 3 can react with HNO 3 , HCl, and H 2 SO 4 , resulting in the formation of ammonium aerosols like fine particulate matter [13].…”

Structure Optimization and Data Processing Method of Electronic Nose Bionic Chamber for Detecting Ammonia Emissions from Livestock Excrement Fermentation

“…It is released into the environment through the fermentation of livestock excreta, including urine and feces [ 2 ]. High ammonia levels in breeding farms pose potential health threats to both humans and livestock [ 3 ]. It readily adsorbs onto the skin, mucous membranes, and eye conjunctiva, causing irritation and inflammation.…”
