EMERGENCY OVERVIEW
Appearance: gray-beige powder.
Warning! Causes eye, skin, and respiratory tract
irritation. Toxic to aquatic organisms, may cause long-term adverse
effects in the aquatic environment.
Target Organs: Respiratory system, eyes, skin.
Potential Health Effects
Eye:
Causes eye irritation.
Skin:
Causes skin irritation. May be harmful if absorbed through the skin.
Ingestion:
May cause irritation of the digestive tract. May be harmful if
swallowed. Ingestion of silver compounds may cause abdominal pain,
rigidity, convulsions and shock.
Inhalation:
Causes respiratory tract irritation. May be harmful if inhaled.
Inhalation of silver metal dust and fume or of soluble silver
compounds may eventually cause argyria, an unsightly blue-gray
discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, including gum tissue
and conjunctiva of the eyes.
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.
Skin:
Get medical aid. Immediately flush skin with plenty of water for at
least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and shoes.
Ingestion:
Do not induce vomiting. Get medical aid.
Inhalation:
Remove from exposure and move to fresh air immediately. If not
breathing, give artificial respiration. If breathing is difficult,
give oxygen. Get medical aid.
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
