I don't know how much, but I used to live near an x-ray silver recovery plant. There is silver on x-rays but it has to go to a special plant for the silver to be recovered. The air is polluted and almost every house on our street someone had cancer. Sometimes the air would look yellow and during those times I couldn't go outside because it would make me feel sick. Silver is a toxic metal so therefore film and film developing solutions must be treated as toxic waste and taken to places where they can be recovered safely.

Silver doesn't come from x-rays and x-rays don't come from silver.

i'm unsure what the final thank you to try this is. i think of oftentimes they use some style of acid Nitric, Sulphuric, and so on. Be relatively relatively careful, googles, and so on, in case you may get those chems, make relatively helpful you comprehend what you're doing first
