Smelling salts, also known as ammonia inhalants, spirit of hartshorn or sal volatile, are chemical compounds used for arousing consciousness. ==Usage== The usual active compound is ammonium carbonate, a colorless-to-white, crystalline solid ((NH4)2CO3).〔 Because most modern solutions are mixed with water, they should more properly be called "aromatic spirits of ammonia."〔 Modern solutions may also contain other products to perfume or act in conjunction with the ammonia, such as lavender oil or eucalyptus oil. Historically, smelling salts have been used on people feeling faint,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Compact Oxford English Dictionary - Smelling Salts )〕 or who have fainted. They are typically administered by others, but may be self-administered; some at-risk groups, such as pregnant women, may be advised to keep them close to hand.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Common ailments during pregnancy )〕 Smelling salts are often used on athletes (particularly boxers) who have been dazed or knocked unconscious to restore consciousness and mental alertness.〔 They are also used as a form of stimulant in athletic competitions (such as powerlifting, strong man and ice hockey) to "wake up" competitors to perform better.〔〔 Famous athletes such as Phil Kessel, Alexander Ovechkin, Tyler Seguin, Sean Monahan, Derick Brassard, Keith Kinkaid, Ilya Kovalchuk, Brett Favre, Peyton Manning, Carlos Boozer, Clemson Rugby, Samuel Eto'o, David Desharnais, Greg Hardy, Johnny Gaudreau and Tom Brady have been seen using smelling salts on the sidelines. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「smelling salts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
