I was reading some info on Argyria and came across the following statement, "The amount of silver required to develop Argyria is estimated to be 3.8grams per day"
I have two questions about that statement. 1. If you are drinking a 10ppm "concentration" of CS/EIS, how many ounces or milliliters (ml) of the 10ppm CS/EIS would you have to drink to reach the 3.8 grams for a day. 2. How many days would you need to drink it to "get it" (argyria)? I need a bit of help fully understanding what we mean in terms of concentration when we use ppm as the "unit of concentration". I understand that ppm = parts per million. I assume that would be "parts of silver" per some unit of volume (water)? In the clinical lab we measure concentration of analytes in the blood in mg/dl or ug/dl......etc. So would ppm be microgram (ug-1millionth of a gram) per some volume of water? What would the volume of water be? Thanks, SS
