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 3.8 grams 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.
380,000 ml. 12,667 ounces or 99 gallons.
2. How many days would you need to drink it to "get it" (argyria)?
Does not compute. You would be dead within an hour.
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?
one ppm is one milligram per liter of water., or one microgram per gram
of water.
