I've heard that people who grow up near abattoires also develop an immunity/insensitivity to the odor...

If there was an odor, I would smell it when I come home, but never have. When I drive right up to the place, I don't smell anything either. Also, surely they are not allowed to release anhydrous ammonia into the air.
