EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: Not available.
Danger! Strong oxidizer. Contact with other
material may cause a fire. Causes eye and skin burns. Causes
respiratory tract irritation. May cause severe digestive tract
irritation with possible burns. May cause cyanosis (bluish
discoloration of skin due to deficient oxygenation of the blood).
Light sensitive.
Target Organs: None.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns. Contact with eyes may cause severe irritation,
and possible eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
May cause severe gastrointestinal tract irritation with nausea,
vomiting and possible burns. Ingestion of soluble silver salts may
cause argyria, characterized by permanent blue-gray pigmentation of
the skin, mucous membranes, and eyes.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation.
Chronic:
Chronic inhalation or ingestion of silver salts may cause argyria
characterized by a permanent blue-gray discoloration of the eyes,
skin, mucous membranes, and internal organs. This malady results
from the accumulation of silver in the body.
Section 4 - First Aid Measures
|
Eyes:
Immediately flush eyes with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes,
occasionally lifting the upper and lower eyelids. Get medical aid imme
diately. Do NOT allow victim to rub eyes or keep eyes closed.
Skin:
Get medical aid immediately. Immediately flush skin with plenty of
water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing
and shoes. Discard contaminated clothing in a manner which limits
further exposure.
Ingestion:
If victim is conscious and alert, give 2-4 cupfuls of milk or water.
Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Get medical
aid immediately.
Inhalation:
Get medical aid immediately. Remove from exposure and move to fresh
air immediately. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. If
breathing is difficult, give oxygen.
Notes to Physician:
Treat symptomatically and supportively.
Section 5 - Fire Fighting Measures
|
General Information:
As in any fire, wear a self-contained breathing apparatus in
pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent), and full
protective gear. Strong oxidizer. Contact with other material may
cause fire.

General Information: Use proper personal protective equipment as indicated
in Section 8.
Spills/Leaks:
Vacuum or sweep up material and place into a suitable disposal
container. Avoid generating dusty conditions. Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Use with adequate ventilation.
Minimize dust generation and accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on
skin, or on clothing. Keep container tightly closed. Avoid contact
with clothing and other combustible materials. Do not ingest or
inhale. Store protected from light. Do not store near combustible
materials.
Storage:
Do not store near combustible materials. Store in a tightly closed
container. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area away from
incompatible substances.
