Summary of proton flux from exposure of Daphnia magna embryos to AgNO3 and silver nanoparticles.

Treatment H+ iFlux
(pmol cm-2)		 Peak response
(pmol cm-2 s-1)		 Time to
response (min)		 Duration of
response (min)
Control (hard water) 1015 N/A N/A N/A
130 ng/l AgNO3 1313 2.4 <1 6.4
650 ng/l AgNO3 5831 11.8 <1 17.3
130 ng/l Ag NPs 1552 698.4 3.4 2.1
650 ng/l Ag NPs 25,363 2452.6 3.3 27.4

iFlux values for the high nanoparticle dose was much larger than the comparable dose of AgNO3 [122].

Ag NP: Silver nanoparticles; iFlux: Integrated flux.
