Potential health effects
Inhalation: Effects are expected to be less severe than for exposure to higher concentrations where symptoms include severe irritation to the respiratory tract with coughing, wheezing, shortness of breath, nausea, and vomiting. May be absorbed into the body following inhalation with symptoms paralleling those from ingestion exposure. Ingestion: Effects should be less severe than through exposure to higher concentrations of silver nitrate which may include symptoms of pain and burning in mouth, blackening of the skin and mucous membranes, throat and abdomen, diarrhea and shock. A poison in higher concentrations. Skin Contact: Effects are expected to be less severe than for exposure to higher concentrations where symptoms include redness, pain and severe burns. Eye Contact: Causes severe eye irritation, redness and pain. Contact may cause eye damage. Chronic Exposure: Prolonged or repeated inhalation, application or ingestion of silver compounds may cause a permanent bluish discoloration of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes. Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more susceptible to the effects of the substance. Persons with heavy metals accumulation should cease contact with silver compounds.
