Relative contribution (%) of AgNPion and AgNPparticle to toxicity at the LC50 (lethality) level. LC50 concentrations are presented as median concentration (95% confidence interval) and n = 3.
| Particles | Median Concentration (mg Ag/L) | Relative Contribution to Toxicity (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| NPion | NPparticle | ||
| LC50 | |||
| Ag ions | 0.09 (0.08–0.10) | 100 | 0 |
| Nanospheres | 11.7 (9.9–13.6) | 100 | 0 |
| Nanoplates | 4.9 (4.8–5.0) | 9.2 | 90.8 |
| Nanorods | 9.2 (5.7–12.7) | 3.8 | 96.2 |
