What is a silver compound? Are silver compounds safe for us?

0

A silver compound is natural silver atom(s) directly bonded or fused with another element or chemical compound. A compound will have completely different properties and effects than the two elements comprising the compound. For example, both carbon and nitrogen are absolutely essential to life on this planet – and in their pure form have no toxicity whatsoever. In nature they will not readily bond. But when forced to bond, we get a highly toxic substance called cyanide! Some silver compounds, such as silver oxide or silver chloride, are harmless in the human body (yet demonstrate little if any benefit). Other compounds (which are artificially produced), such as silver acetate, silver nitrate and silver arsphenamine can be extremely toxic in the human body.
