...However, as illustrated by the river water, for the purposes of risk assessment such concentrations have to be used while considering that the majority of the silver is present in wastewater is as a-Ag2S (Kaegi et al., 2011)....

...Transformation reactions rapidly change the initial form the ENM, which can be very pronounced as exemplified by the case of nano-Ag (Kim et al., 2010; Scheckel et al., 2010; Kaegi et al., 2011; Levard et al., 2012)....

...The metal removal model in activated sludge systems includes such processes as physical entrapment of insoluble particles into the floc, active cellular uptake, binding to extra cellular polymers, and volatilization [39] which, according to the results of other studies [45,58], should be relevant also for nanoparticles....

...[45] metallic silver nanoparticles were transformed into Ag2S within 2 h (in a non-aerated tank)....
[...]
...[45] the behaviour of silver nanoparticles in a pilot wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) was investigated....

...However, due to sample preparation, nanoparticles cannot be observed in suspension, so if TEM is the only method used [83] the behaviour of the particles in suspension remains largely unknown....
