Ammonia causes intense irritation of eyes, nose and respiratory tract which can lead to tears, respiratory distress, chest pain, and pulmonary edema. A few minutes exposure to 3,000 ppm can cause severe blistering of skin, lung edema, and asphyxia which can lead to death (Patnaik, P. 1992. A Comprehensive Guide to the Hazardous Properties of Chemical Substances, p. 304. New York, Van Nostrand Reinhold). Contact with liquid ammonia can cause serious blistering and destruction of skin tissues. LC50 inhalation (mouse) 4,200 ppm/hr. 

Bromine pentafluoride is a highly reactive compound combining explosively or with ignition with most elements and their compounds.
