Giftighet av nanosølv for fisk I norske vann og vassdrag
Eivind Farmen 2
Silver - the most common material used in commercial nano-products
18.03.2013
Nanosilver from a washing machine
Concentration in effluent: 2,7 µg/L to 25 µg/L
Average: 10,522 µg/L
Large variability!
Particles found with TEM:
Size range: 6 – 11 nm
Farkas (2011) Environment international 37 (6), 1057-1062
Objectives• Determine acute and sublethal toxicity of AgNP to fish & fish cells
• Determine AgNP characteristics in various matrixes
• Compare toxic potential of AgNP to ionic silver and AuNP
• Assess risk to fish under ecologicaly relevant exposure scenarios

Conclusion
• High toxicity of Ag-NPs in natural Norwegian waters
• Ag-NP effect mediated by Ag+ ions?• Effects in gills/osmoregulation• Modulation of immune system• Effect in gills > liver
