Physician should treat 5 : Firefighting measuresExtinguishing mediaSuitable extinguishing agents: Use water, dry chemical, chemical foam, carbon dioxide, or Safety reasons unsuitable extinguishing agents:Special hazards arising from the substance or mixture:Thermal decomposition can lead to release of irritating gases and oxides (NOx), silver /silveroxidesAdvice for firefighters:Protective equipment: Wear protective eyeware, gloves, and clothing. Refer to Section information (precautions): Avoid inhaling gases, fumes, dust, mist, vapor, and aerosols. Avoidcontact with skin, eyes, and 6 : Accidental release measuresPersonal precautions, protective equipment and emergency procedures:Ensure adequate that air-handling systems are contact with skin, eyes precautions:Should not be released into from reaching drains, sewer, or and material for containment and cleaning up:Wear protective eyeware, gloves, and clothing.

10 Ecological informationEcotoxicity Persistence and degradability:Bioaccumulative potential:Mobility in soil:Other adverse effects: Toxicity of silver to aquatic life depends on hardness: the higher the concentration ofhardness, the higher the concentration of silver needed to be considered toxic. Has high chronic toxicity to aquaticlife which can cause shorten life span, reproductive problems, lower fertility, and changes in appearances andbehaviorSECTION 13 : Disposal considerationsWaste disposal recommendations:Contact a licensed professional waste disposal service to dispose of this of empty containersas unused or containers must not be disposed together with household garbage. It is theresponsibility of the waste generator to properly characterize all waste materials according to applicableregulatory entities (US ).
