I've been wondering about this for quite some time, having read on this list that ppm is really a measure of weight, not "parts" or "particles." I'll add a layman's question: is there any scale on earth that could measure the difference in weight just by putting one's EIS jar on the scale before and after making the EIS? The precision would have to be astoundingly high. At those levels, maybe even the researcher's breathing would throw the results off. Still, I wonder.

Doing quantitative analysis for silver compounds is really rather easy, if you have much silver present. The biggest problem is that at 5-20 ppm, the quantities are so small, that getting a good weight on them is difficult. It can be done though with a good balance, forget a postage scale.
