However, despite the efforts of exploring plant-based developers, and darkroom procedures to prevent damaging disposal of silver contaminated solutions, (extremely toxic for the environment affecting primarily microbial life) we are still left with the need to use this toxic metal in lack of any other option for analog camera photography.
