“…Nebeker et al (1983) reported 96-h LC50 values of 8.6 and 9.7 lg Ag/l for similar sized RBT at a chloride concentration of 7.2 mg/l, while Davies et al (1978) reported 96-h LC50 values of 5.3, 6.2, and 8.1 lg/l. Karen et al (1999) reported values of 5.57-17.1 lg/l, at a similar DOC concentration but results varied depending on the chloride level (nominal of 0 and 3 mg/l, respectively). It should be noted that silver toxicity studies that used KCl to adjust Cl -(i.e., Karen et al 1999;Bielmyer et al 2007) may have underestimated its protective effects.…”

“…Others have reported EC50 values ranging from 0.18 lg/l to *1.4 lg/l in laboratory waters (Erickson et al 1998;Karen et al 1999;Nebeker et al1983). The higher EC50 value for D. magna in our water may be due to the use of a natural surface water as the source for the testing water in our studies, which had higher background organic carbon concentrations *3.0-3.9 mg C/l (Table 1) or may be due to the use of a 3-h equilibration time.…”

Acute silver toxicity studies were conducted with and without food for four common freshwater test species: Daphnia magna, Ceriodaphnia dubia, Pimephales promelas (fathead minnow-FHM), and Oncorhynchus mykiss (rainbow trout-RBT) in order to generate acute-to-chronic ratios (ACR). The studies were conducted similarly (i.e., static-renewal or flow-through) to chronic/early-life stage studies that were previously performed in this laboratory. The acute toxicity (EC/LC50 values) of silver without food ranged from 0.57 μg dissolved Ag/l for C.dubia to 9.15 μg dissolved Ag/l for RBT. The presence of food resulted in an increase in EC/LC50 values from 1.25× for RBT to 22.4× for C. dubia. Invertebrate food type was also shown to effect acute silver toxicity. Food did not affect EC/LC50s or ACRs as greatly in fish studies as in invertebrate studies. ACRs for both invertebrate species were <1.0 when using acute studies without food but were 1.22 and 1.33 when using acute studies with food. ACRs for FHMs ranged from 4.06 to 7.19, while RBT ACRs ranged from 28.6 to 35.8 depending on whether food was present in acute studies. The data generated from this research program should be useful in re-determining a final ACR for silver in freshwater as well as in risk assessments.

“…Due to the complexity of natural media as speciation and toxicity determiner (Wood et al, 2011), studies in natural waters are suggested (Gunsolus et al, 2015;Park et al, 2014). In freshwater, toxicity mitigation for Ag (Cupi et al, 2015;Gao et al, 2009) and CuO NPs (Blinova et al, 2010;Kramer et al, 2004) is, similarly to Ag- (Karen et al, 1999) and Cu-ions (Park et al, 2009), often ascribed to the presence of organic ligands. Nevertheless, the physico-chemical properties of the NPs themselves are of equal importance in determining the fate and thus subsequent adverse effects of NPs to the aquatic biota (Angel et al, 2013;Blinova et al, 2013).…”

We used carbon paste electrodes and a standard potentiostat to detect silver ions. The detection limit (3 Signal/Noise ratio) was estimated as 0.5 μM. A standard electrochemical instrument microanalysis of silver(I) ions was suggested. As a working electrode a carbon tip (1 mL) or carbon pencil was used. Limits of detection estimated by dilution of a standard were 1 (carbon tip) or 10 nM (carbon pencil). Further we employed flow injection analysis coupled with carbon tip to detect silver(I) ions released in various beverages and mineral waters. During first, second and third week the amount of silver(I) ions releasing into water samples was under the detection limit of the technique used for their quantification. At the end of a thirteen weeks long experiment the content of silver(I) ions was several times higher compared to the beginning of release detected in the third week and was on the order of tens of nanomoles. In subsequent experiments the influence of silver(I) ions (0, 5 and 10 μM) on a plant model system (tobacco BY-2 cells) during a four-day exposition was investigated. Silver(I) ions were highly toxic to the cells, which was revealed by a double staining viability assay. Moreover we investigated the effect of silver(I) ions (0, 0.3, 0.6, 1.2 and 2.5 μM) on guppies (Poecilia reticulata). Content of Ag(I) increased with increasing time of the treatment and applied concentrations in fish tissues. It can be concluded that a carbon tip or carbon pencil coupled with a miniaturized potentiostat can be used for detection of silver(I) ions in environmental samples and thus represents a small, portable, low cost and easy-to-use instrument for such purposes.
