The following bibliographic material is provided to assist you with your purchasing decision:
Scope
1.1 These test methods cover the atomic absorption determination of silver in water. Three test methods are given as follows:
ConcentrationRange | Sections | |
Test Method A-Atomic Absorp-tion-Chelation-Extraction | 1 to 10 g/L | 7 to 15 |
Test Method B-Atomic Absorp-tion-Direct | 16 to 24 | |
Test Method C-Atomic Absorp-tion-Graphite Furnace | 1 to 25 g/L |
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
Significance and Use
The principal adverse effect of silver in the body is cosmetic. It causes argyria, a permanent, blue-gray discoloration of the skin, eyes, and mucous membranes.
Relatively small quantities of silver are bactericidal or bacteriostatic and find limited use in both disinfection of swimming pool waters and point-of-use water filters.
