David, 
 
PPM refers to mg of silver {in total} per litre of water as established under 
laboratory analysis does it not?
 
If discussing - "PPM of dissolved silver ions" - then that would be referred to 
as the 'Soluble Ag' component or content.
 
PPM content would be the total amount of Ag present in both ionic and 
particulate form in that solution would it not?
