H. Ettajani, L. Pirastru oysters (Crassostrea gigas) exposed through sea water or via particulate matter (natural sediment, diatoms). The physico-chernical forms of silver stored in oysters suggests a moderate transfer to consumers. In the case of copper, transfer through feeding is not a negligible factor, through the associated risk is not doubt limited because of the key biological role played by this metal, and it therefore merits careful evaluation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
