Silver nitrate is still used in medicine as an antibiotic. Too much
will kill your septic system.
(This should be ambiguous enough).

Right. Black and white film is relatively easy to make. Color film
requires one of the most complex chemical manufacturing processes
ever developed.
Not to mention the complexity of processing color film. (I also
understand that the chemistry for color processing is much more toxic to
the environment than B&W chemistry.)
I don't give color film a long lifespan at all. My personal predictions:
color transparency film will be gone in five years or less. Color
negative film, maybe seven or eight years.
Black and white film, 20 years or more.
Sounds about right.
