| Description | Inorganic and organic components of water influence silver speciation in waste water effluent and may affect silver toxicity. Cationic and anionic constituents of aqueous systems control ionic strength which affect metal solubility. Organic materials such as humic and fulvic acids are capable of complexing silver and other metals in solution. It is also entirely possible that silver combines with ions and/or organic material to form suspended solids which are measured as aqueous silver. This suspended silver may be less available for bioaccumulation than are soluble forms of silver. Lower bioavailability of silver reduces the toxicity observed for silver solutions. To address silver solubility and availability questions, silver concentrations discussed in this paper were evaluated along with toxic responses of aquatic organisms to test solutions (Klaine et al., this publication). | en |
