Description:In the last decade, significant advances have been made in the understanding of the environmental chemistry, toxicology, and biological behavior of silver, and in knowledge of metal speciation in general. The scientific community has learned much about sources, concentration levels in natural waters and biota, physico-chemical forms, adsorption and desorption reactions, toxicology, bioaccumulation, influence of ligands, and transport and fate characteristics of silver. Intensive, and in some ways unique, multidisciplinary collaboration throughout the writing, reviewing and revising of this book has resulted in a compilation of the latest knowledge in research, assessment, and regulatory practices. The following chapters are included in this proceedings: 1. Environmental chemistry of silver pp. 1-25. 2. Biological effects of silver pp. 27-63. 3. Biological processes pp. 65-95. 4. Risk assessment pp. 97-139. 5. Current regulatory practice for silver pp. 141-153.
