Abstract

Discussion of short and long term studies of silver iodide in soils, including determination of microbial silver transformation reaction, and evaluation of specific silver form and level effects on microbial activities in laboratory and field environments, microbial ability to reduce silver, together with evidence for sub-lethal effects of low-levels of silver forms and microbial decomposer processes indicate considerable more study needed.
