Silver Chloride

Silver chloride is a chloride of silver that occurs naturally as the mineral chlorargyrite. It is used to make photographic paper and pottery glazes. It is also found in stained glass colorants, bandages, and other wound healing products, and may be used as an antidote to mercury poisoning. Silver is a metallic element with the chemical symbol Ag and atomic number 47. It occurs naturally in its pure, free form, as an alloy with gold and other metals, and in minerals such as argentite and chlorargyrite. (L808, L809, L816) — Toxin and Toxin Target Database (T3DB)
