A method for determination of ammonia-N in environmental water by air-segmented flow injection analysis using the colour reaction of phenol and sodium hypochlorite with ammonia was described in this paper. When the reaction temperature is <TEX>$70^{\circ}C$</TEX> and the reaction residence time is 5 minutes, a sample frequency of <TEX>$60-90h^{-1}$</TEX> can be achieved. The detection limit and relative deviation are <TEX>$0.05mg.ml^{-1}$</TEX> and 4%, respectively. The recovery of this method is 96 - 110%, and the determination results of the method are greatly agreement with standard colorimetric method.
