In this episode we talk to Dan Neenan, director of the National Education Center for Agricultural Safety about anhydrous ammonia.  Dan has worked as a firefighter and paramedic responding to anhydrous ammonia releases.  "I've been a paramedic coming up on 30 years now and I don't think I've seen anybody in more pain than a gentleman that I had that was sprayed in the face and in the eyes with anhydrous ammonia." Dan describes anhydrous ammonia and the PPE you need to wear when working with it.  He also talks about the increased presence of anhydrous tanks on the roads this time of year.  Episode resources are available on our website: https://gpcah.public-health.uiowa.edu/farmsafe/
