Does fixer and hypoclear hurt soil/plants?

[Prof_Pixel]

unfortunately your link doesn't work

For some reason the shortened URL seems to have problems..

The link is:

"...www.kodak.com/ek/uploadedFiles/Content/About_Kodak/Global_Sustainability/Health,_Safety_and_Environment/Publications_Library/J212ENG-0311.pdf..."

Copy and paste the URL between the two "... character strings into your browser and let me know if it works for you.

As noted earlier, Silver metal and Silver salts are bacteriostats. As such, they kill bacteria. Good soil needs bacteria, for better or worse. Kill bacteria and some things cannot grow or live.

This is very important. Healthy populations of soil bacteria are necessary for healthy plants.

Yes, and that's why I asked the question originally. It wasn't so much the chemistry, I was curious about the dilution/volume. I don't plant on printing too much that large, but I figured since I'll be using significantly more water, if there was a better procedure for disposal--like watering my drought stricken plants.

The bit.ly URLs seem to work better.

Wow. Besides the film, I have this very sinking feeling that we are all going to miss Kodak a lot if all this information disappears. I am absolutely stunned when I review the amount of information that was provided by Kodak on just about anything related to photography. I certainly hope this is all backed up somewhere if Kodak does go away. I have accumulated a lot of Kodak information in the past few years but the sheer amount of what is available is astounding.

Works just fine for me!

The Kodak datasheet URL's seem to embed some information that causes problems with uploading, depending on your location. I think it may have something to do with the fact that for certain information, the applicable document varies with regions and language, and the linking system is intended to adapt to that.

In my case, I get a redirection error with the longer URLs, but not with the shorter versions.
