I was googling toxins in silver plating when I came across
this. I work for a company that imports goods from China. I
visited a pewter factory recently and saw the conditions of
their silver plating facilities. The workers were walking
around exposed (their only protective gear was aprons and
rubber gloves) to the vats in which they 'dipped' products
into the silver plating solution. Isn't this extremely
toxic?? How toxic is the silver plating process to the
workers involved, and to the environment when there is no
proper ventilation?

Would greatly appreciate any feedback.
