Short Term Concentration (µg/L) |
NRG |
NRG= no recommended guideline This guideline is not applicable to silver nanoparticles. CWQGs were derived based on the total concentration of Ag. Because the short-term SSD 5th percentile and the long-term SSD 5th percentile (CWQG) are essentially equal, no designated short-term freshwater benchmark is recommended.

|
Long Term Concentration (µg/L) |
0.25 |
This guideline is not applicable to silver nanoparticles. CWQGs were derived based on the total concentration of Ag.

This guideline is not applicable to silver nanoparticles. CWQGs were derived based on the total concentration of Ag. | |
|
Long Term Concentration (µg/L) |
NRG |
NRG= no recommended guideline This guideline is not applicable to silver nanoparticles. CWQGs were derived based on the total concentration of Ag. There were insufficient data to derive a long-term marine guideline.
