Section 7. Handling and Storage
Precautions Keep away from heat. Keep away from sources of ignition. Empty containers pose a fire risk, evaporate the
residue under a fume hood. Ground all equipment containing material. Do not breathe dust. Wear suitable
protective clothing. In case of insufficient ventilation, wear suitable respiratory equipment. If you feel unwell, seek
medical attention and show the label when possible. Avoid contact with skin and eyes. Keep away from
incompatibles such as acids.
Storage Hygroscopic. Light sensitive. Store light-resistant container. Keep container tightly closed. Keep container in a
cool, well-ventilated area. Do not store above 24°C (75.2°F).
Section 8. Exposure Controls/Personal Protection
Engineering Controls Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation, or other engineering controls to keep airborne levels below
recommended exposure limits. If user operations generate dust, fume or mist, use ventilation to keep exposure to
airborne contaminants below the exposure limit.
Personal Protection Splash goggles. Lab coat. Dust respirator. Be sure to use an approved/certified respirator or equivalent.
Gloves.
Personal Protection in Case of Splash goggles. Full suit. Dust respirator. Boots. Gloves. A self contained breathing apparatus should be used
a Large Spill to avoid inhalation of the product. Suggested protective clothing might not be sufficient; consult a specialist
BEFORE handling this product.

Special Remarks on May cause cancer based on animal data. However, at the timeof this review, no studies were found on the
Chronic Effects on Humans possible carcinogenic activity of silver compounds in humans.
Special Remarks on other Acute Potential Health Effects:
Toxic Effects on Humans Skin: May cause skin irritation.
Eyes: May cause mechanical eye irritation.
Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Expoures above TLV may result in acculmulation of silver in the
body (argyria) Symptoms may include a permanent blue-gray pigmentation of the skin, mucous membranes, and
eyes.
Ingestion: May be harmful if swallowed. large doses may result in silver poisong, which may show symptoms of
gastroenteritis (gastrointestinal tract irritation), spasms, and skin discoloration.
Prolonged or repeated inhalation, application, or ingestion of silver compounds may cause a permanent bluish
discoloration of the skin and mucous membranes, and may also affect blood, and liver.
