EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: beige crystalline powder.
Danger! Causes eye and skin burns. Causes
digestive and respiratory tract burns. Harmful if swallowed. Light
sensitive. Hygroscopic (absorbs moisture from the air).
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye burns.
Skin:
Causes skin burns.
Ingestion:
Harmful if swallowed. Causes gastrointestinal tract burns. May cause
liver and kidney damage.
Inhalation:
Causes chemical burns to the respiratory tract. May cause abdominal
pain, nausea, vomiting, and inflammation of the gums and mouth.
Chronic:
Chronic overexposure to silver compounds may cause argyria (a slate
gray or bluish discoloration of the skin and deep tissues due to the
deposit of insoluble albuminate of silver). Chronic exposure may
cause effects similar to those of acute exposure.
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:
Do not induce vomiting. 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. During a fire, irritating and highly toxic gases
may be generated by thermal decomposition or combustion.
Extinguishing Media:
Use water spray, dry chemical, carbon dioxide, or chemical foam.

Section 6 - Accidental Release Measures
|
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. Clean up spills immediately, observing precautions in the
Protective Equipment section. Avoid generating dusty conditions.
Provide ventilation.
Section 7 - Handling and Storage
|
Handling:
Wash thoroughly after handling. Minimize dust generation and
accumulation. Do not get in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Keep
container tightly closed. Avoid ingestion and inhalation. Store
protected from light. Use only in a chemical fume hood.
Storage:
Store in a tightly closed container. Corrosives area. Keep away from
acids. Store under nitrogen.
Section 8 - Exposure Controls, Personal Protection
|
Engineering Controls:
Facilities storing or utilizing this material should be equipped
with an eyewash facility and a safety shower. Use adequate
ventilation to keep airborne concentrations low.
