Toxicological Information Routes of Entry Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans Other Toxic Effects on Humans Toxicity to Animals Chronic Effects on Humans other Toxic Effects on Humans Inhalation. Ingestion. LD50: LC50: Hazardous in case of ingestion. Slightly hazardous in case of skin contact (irritant), of inhalation. May cause cancer based on animal data. However, at the time of this review, no studies were found on the possible carcinogenic activity of silver compounds in humans. Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: May cause skin irritation. Eyes: May cause mechanical eye irritation. Inhalation: May cause respiratory tract irritation. Exposures 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 poisoning, which may show symptoms of gastroenteritis (gastrointestinal tract irritation), spasms, vertigo, 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.
