Can silver nitrate stain through gloves?
Post Body

Yesterday I made a silver nitrate solution for a lab, I was wearing gloves, and I even changed my gloves a few times throughout the lab. But this morning I noticed some black/blue spots on my hands. I am aware that silver nitrate can stain skin, but can it stain through gloves?

Update: Apparently almost everyone at my school who took quantitative analysis lab got similar stains. One guy referred to it as “a right of passage.” Probably nothing to worry about.

Question 2: how long does it take to go away?

...this is horrifying.

Imagine if that had been something else. There's no shortage of lipophilic carcinogens.

As the other person said: If it gets on your gloves you've already reached a fail state.

Like not to be dramatic but this is how your brain ends up advancing a neurologist's career rather than your own.
