Kodak rapid selenium toner in darkroom

I am going to experiment with selenium toning.

First, I am not going to tone in my darkroom. That'll be done outside as I have no ventilation capability in my Dr.

That said....

I saw conflicting information so I'll have to ask. What is the risk of storing concentrated and working solution in the darkroom - to me and to my supplies such as some paper and some film? I know some toner can fog these supplies. While I store bulk of supplies outside my DR, amount used for fairly immediate use are stored in dr. The "solutions" will be stored in a plastic bottle with a tight fitting cap. Is it the best to keep it elsewhere or would it be as "ok" as having fixers and developers?

Selenium toner should be fine as long as the bottle doesn't leak.

Selenium toner is not one of the fume / fogging toners as far as I know. The sulfide toners are the bad guys on that one. If it is a toner and it stinks like well rotted eggs, it is one of the toners who's fumes will fog paper. Selenium has a different odor. More ammonia smell. Your nose might not like it, but your sensitized materials should be fine.

Liquid Photo Chemical Storage

Dear tkamiya,

I store my liquid chemicals in low sided plastic tubs. Still easy to get to but would contain the liquid from a failed container. A little belt and suspenders just might save a cleanup issue in the future.

Neal,

Yes, I do that too. I keep all of my liquid concentrates and stock/working solutions in deep plastic tubs with lid. On my processing table (wet side), I have a giant shallow plastic tub and trays are inside it. As my DR is a converted spare bedroom, it is carpetted. I really don't want to spill anything or I'll have to rip up the carpet.
