Abstract: A silver halide photographic light-sensitive material and a developing process used in connection with that material are disclosed. The material is comprised of a support having thereon a silver halide emulsion layer containing a silver halide emulsion in which at least 80 mole % of the whole silver halide is composed of silver chloride, the mean grain size thereof is less than 0.4 .mu.m, and which contains more than 1.times.10.sup.-6 mole of a water-soluble rhodium salt per mole of silver at an optional period before finishing the first ripening in the production step for the silver halide emulsion. The material also contains 1.times.10.sup.-5 to 1.times.10.sup.-2 mole of polyalkylene oxide having a molecular weight of at least 600 or a derivative thereof per mole of silver. The process involves imagewise exposing the material and processing it in a developer containing 0.05 to 0.5 mole/liter of a dihydroxybenzene series developing agent, 0 to 0.05 g/liter of an auxiliary developing agent, at least 0.

Abstract: The generation of toxic gases from a bleaching composition for silver halide color photographic materials containing a bleaching agent such as a persulfate or an inorganic ferric salt and a water-soluble halide can be prevented by the incorporation therein of a compound represented by the formula [I]:R.sup.1 --X--NH--R.sup.2 [I]wherein X is a carbonyl group or a sulfonyl group; R.sup.1 is an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a phenyl group, an alkoxy group, an amino group, an acylamino group, or a heterocyclic ring; and R.sup.2 is a hydrogen atom, an alkyl group, an alkenyl group, a phenyl group, an acyl group, a carbamoyl group, or a heterocyclic ring; or R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 together form a 5- or 6-membered ring or a tautomer thereof.
