Best Answer

Photographic paper reacts with light because of the photochemistry of silver bromide and chloride. The silver residue is on the paper because that is what is actually reacting with the light to form a dark spot.

Why Do People not have to worry about pesticide residues?

Because there is no sufficient evidence to prove this theory. A theory is only as good as the evidence it is based on, in this case not much. I do not worry about pesticide residues because no one has yet suffered anything from it.
