The high signal-to-noise ratio of the NH3(J,K) = (1,1) spectra from NGC 6334 have allowed at a first time a detailed study of departures from LTE conditions in this molecular cloud. Differences in the line shapes have shown that the surveyed region is composed of at least three overlapped sources in different stages of star formation. Comparison between physical parameters of NGC 6334 derived from LTE and non-LTE conditions are presented and discussed here.
