| SILVER |
Absorption of silver compounds by ingestion, inhalation or through broken skin can cause argyria, a permanent bluish-grey discoloration of the skin, conjuctiva and mucous membranes. Generalized argyria develops after 2 to 25 years of exposure. There are no systematic effects or symptoms and no physical disability. Silver is considered an experimental equivocal tumorigenic agent by RTECS criteria. |
