It is possible that nanosilver could pose a threat to the balance of human health. The toxicity of silver exhibited in liver cells was also shown to be mediated by oxidative stress, and silver nanoparticles were found to induce toxicity in germline stem cells2.Reduction in size to the nanoscale level results in an enormous increase of surface to volume ratio, therefore, more molecules of the chemical are present on the surface, thus enhancing the intrinsic toxicityBactirial Inhibition of Ag NaonoparticlesDifferent shapes of Silver nanoparticles have different affects on bacterial cells; Ag NP’s in the sub 50 nm exhibit increase efficiency in inhibiting wide range of bacteria.Ag NP’s of 10nm interact with bacterial cell producing electronic effect enhancing the reactivity of the NP’s. Depending on the geometry of Ag NP’s the toxicity ranges 1-100 microgram.The Problemsilver is known to have an anti-microbial activity, and if presence in high concentration in water sources silver may be highly toxic to living systemsHypothesis Engineered silver nanoparticles having the size 20nm-200nm have the toxicity to destroy living systems cells and can be found in water sources using analytical techniques.Method of Choice ICP-MS8Sample is pumped in to the nebulizer mixes with argon where the sample aresole forms, large droplets are removed from the aerosol as it passes through the cool chamber where the fine aerosol are swept to the Chanel of the plasma due to the electric field and travel through high temperature Ar plasma; there aerosol droplets are dried and decomposed and finally ionized.Analyte ions are then focused by a series of ion lenses into a quadrupole mass analyzer, which separates the ions based on their m/z ratio. The mass analyzer consists of four parallel stainless steel rods to which a combination of AC and DC voltages are applied. The combination of these voltages allows the analyzer to transmit only ions of a specific m/z ratio.The detector used is an electron multiplier**American Society of Mass Spectrometry**www.cartage.org.lb/.../ Inductively/icp-sche.giCalibration standards microgram/L0, 0.025, 0.05, 0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0,2,5, 5.0, 10, 20, 50, 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000R2 0-5000 microg/L0.9992R2 0-100 0.9969R2 0-5 0.9984Experimental Design*Calibration standardsRecovery 88.8%RDS 5,6%Detection limit s/n=30.006 micg/L*Then having 6 samples spiked with 100 micg/L AgSample Preparation4Solution containing 10ng/mL Ag, Triton X-144 (0.2%) v/v, dithizone (1X10-3 molL-1 Buffer solution of pH 4 (100 mM acetate buffer)Kept in 45°C thermostatic bath for 15minCentrifuging at 3500 rpm for 10 min.Cool in ice bathFormation of two layersaqueousSurfastant rich phaseRemove by syringeTo reduce viscosityAdd 1.0 molL-1HNO3 in MeOHSampling ProcedureKey features of instrument:High sensitivity.Speed.Removal of Ar- bace interfering species such as Ar2 using H2 reaction mode.The removal power of the Octapol Reaction System of matrix interference.
