These salts are corrosive and are to be considered toxic because of the presence of Ag+ ions. The American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists (ACGIH) (1992—1993) has adopted TWA values of 0.01 mg/m for silver metal and 0.01 mg/m for soluble silver salts. TWA for fluorides as F ions is 2.5 mg/m. The MSDS should be consulted prior to use. Skin contact and inhalation should be avoided. 

TLV means threshold limit value (estabhshed by the American Conference of Government Industrial Hygienists, or ACGIH). TLV-C is the concentration in air that should not be exceeded during any pari of the working exposure.
