2.1.1 N; R50-53 dangerous for the environment 2.1.3
CLP CLASSIFICATION
Silver as such is not classified. 2.1.1.1. Self classification - According to generally available data, hazardous to the aquatic environment of silver (>99.9%) in powder form (< 1 mm)1 was identified as: Aquatic Acute 1, H400 (M-Factor = 1), Aquatic Chronic 1, H410 (M-Factor = 10) - Irritant 22: H315 Therefore, it is possible to suggest for silver nanoparticles and for the aquatic environment following classification:
Hazard statements
Very toxic to aquatic organisms may cause long-term adverse effects in the aquatic environment. “category acute 1”3 H400, H410 In case of silver nanoparticles it should be also taken under account, that: Any very fine metal particles (nanopowder) may cause eye irritation (suggested Suggested hazard statements: Very toxic to aquatic life (H400). Very toxic to aquatic life with long lasting effects (H410). Causes serious eye irritation (H319). May cause respiratory irritation (H335). Causes skin irritation (H315).

Precautionary statements
Avoid release to the environment (P273). Wear protective gloves/protective clothing/eye protection (P280). Avoid breathing dust (P261). Store in a well-ventilated place. Keep container tightly closed (P403 + P233). 2.2
2.3 Other hazards
Nano Ag, as a powder, during handling can form dust. To measure this parameter, dustiness is measured. According to the value reported in section 9, the dustiness class established by the software Stoffenmanager nano4 is medium (lowest possible value in the software).
