What's the difference between a methane scrubber and an ammonia scrubber?

Methane, CH4...when not produced next to feces, an odorless gas, might be referred to informally as "toxic"...but is actually not (explosive, yes; can displace air and asphxyiate you, yes).

On the other hand, Ammonia, NH3...actually *is* VERY toxic to the brain.

Scrubbers try to remove these chemicals from some environment (typically, they might be required in factory smoke stacks or other means of gas emission).
