Silver Iodide Generators and Public Health
Publication: Journal of the Irrigation and Drainage Division
Volume 96, Issue 3
Abstract
Exposure of the operator of a cloud seeding generator is compared with threshold limits for prolonged exposure established by the American Conference of Governmental Industrial Hygienists. For silver iodide and its complexes, iodine and carbon monoxide, maximum exposure was found to be greatly below hazardous levels. Concentrations of silver and iodine in precipitation from seeded storms were found to be greatly below permissible levels set by the U.S. Public Health Service for drinking water. The inoffensive nature of the effluent from a silver iodide generator is emphasized by contrasting its chemical content with that of automobile exhaust.
