The Environment
The SRC and its sponsors are committed to the sound scientific assessment of any risks posed to the environment or human health from the production and use of silver. To this end, its current research program was designed to increase understanding of the behavior of silver in the environment.

Ultimately, the work seeks to enable quantitative prediction of bioavailability of silver in soils, water and sediment through the development of specific models based on simple parameters such as metal concentration and classic abiotic factors such as pH, organic carbon content, water hardness etc.
