Abstract

Vertical profiles of total silver concentrations in the northeast and southeast Atlantic are oceanographically consistent with total dissolved (< 0.45 μm) silver concentration profiles in the North Pacific. These show that silver is a recycled element with low concentrations in surface waters (≤ 0.7 pM) and relatively high concentrations (7 pM) in deep waters (4600 m) of the Atlantic, and that there is a systematic enrichment of silver concentrations in deep waters from the North Atlantic to the North Pacific (> 20 pM). This nutrient-type distribution is further evidenced by the highly significant (p < 0.01, simple linear regression) correlation (R ≥ 0.916) of silver and silicate concentrations in both the North Pacific and eastern Atlantic.

Characterizing Ag uptake and storage in the marine diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana: Implications for Ag biogeochemical cycling
2022, Marine Chemistry
Citation Excerpt :
Ultimately, only the Ag most tightly bound to highly refractive organic matter or scavenged by other particles reaches the seafloor and is buried and preserved in sediments, possibly as Ag2S in the presence of sulfide (Fig. 5). Previous studies that implicated biogenic silica as the carrier phase based on open ocean water column profiles of Ag and silicate (Flegal et al., 1995; Kramer et al., 2011) highlight the limits of relying on elemental correlations in environmental media such as seawater or sediments. Importantly, the linear relationship between Ag and silicate first noted in the Atlantic Ocean (Flegal et al., 1995) changes to a nonlinear relationship below ∼1000 m in the North Pacific, with Ag concentrations rising faster than silicate concentrations (Zhang et al., 2001), which suggests more than a simple control on Ag concentrations by diatoms.
Silver is a non-nutrient element that is readily taken up by diatoms. It exists in the ocean in pM concentrations and is known to accumulate in marine sediments underlying surface waters that support diatom blooms. Laboratory studies and open-ocean water column profiles of Ag versus Si have led to the hypothesis that diatoms accumulate Ag within their silica frustules, subsequently delivering Ag to underlying sediments as the organisms die and sink to the seafloor. Through this delivery mechanism, sedimentary Ag concentrations might serve as a useful record of past export production. However, the actual partitioning of Ag between diatom organic and frustule parts is unknown, and as such represents a considerable source of uncertainty in the development of Ag as a proxy for diatom paleoproductivity and in fully describing Ag biogeochemical cycling. In this study, we use a synchrotron XRF microprobe to map the location of Ag within the laboratory-grown diatom Thalassiosira pseudonana and show that diatoms primarily store Ag in their soft tissue, not in their frustules. Intracellular Ag appears to be concentrated in vacuoles, although the majority of Ag is widely distributed and may be associated with the cell membrane and/or cytoplasm. These results imply an alternate mechanism for Ag delivery to sediments whereby Ag is associated with decomposing organic particles rather than skeletal remains. Silver therefore continues to show promise as a qualitative paleoproductivity proxy. Quantitative use is unlikely, however, given variable uptake rates by diatoms in response to environmental conditions and the significant potential for remineralization with organic matter in the water column.
Environmental stressors alter the susceptibility of microorganisms to biocides in upstream oil and gas systems
2022, International Biodeterioration and Biodegradation
Upstream oil and gas systems are negatively impacted by microbial activities that produce hydrogen sulfide gas, enhance corrosion rates of metals, and cause costly damage to infrastructure through biofouling. Although alternatives to biocides such as sulfate removal membranes and corrosion resistant coatings and materials have been developed, biocides and inhibitors still provide the main defense against microbial activity. However, the environmental and economic challenges of employing biocides necessitate oil and gas industries devise better strategies for their use and application. Since oil and gas environments represent physically controlled environments with highly stressed microbial communities experiencing episodes of intermittent slow growth and dormancy, one such strategy can take advantage of environmental stressors (e.g., salinity, starvation, oxygen) to enhance biocide efficacy. Although it is generally thought environmental stressors recruit determinants of resistance in bacteria, there are instances where stress decreases the energy or metabolic state of a cell increasing its susceptibility to some biocides. This review examines stressors in oil and gas environments and provides examples where stress can both increase and decrease biocidal susceptibility. By describing how these stressors and biocides impact metabolic activity as well as affect regulation of genes involved in energy production and conversion, this knowledge can be used to develop new strategies that take advantage of vulnerabilities in bacteria to improve biocide efficacy and reduce environmental threats and operator costs.
Ecotoxicology of metals-sources, transport, and effects on the ecosystem
2021, Handbook on the Toxicology of Metals: Fifth Edition
Metal smelting and combustion processes are major anthropogenic sources for the emission of metals to the atmosphere. Metals emitted this way are generally bound in small particles with the potential for atmospheric long-range transport and contamination. Sediments are the ultimate sink for metals emitted to the aquatic environment; this is most evident in coastal and estuarine sediments. Besides direct emissions, man-made environmental changes such as acidification, oxygen depletion, and draining of waterlogged areas may mobilize metals not otherwise available to organisms. The speciation of metals is an important determinant for their bioavailability, uptake, and toxicity in the environment. Organisms have developed a wide range of mechanisms for the internal handling and storage of essential and/or toxic metals. No metal other than mercury is consistently biomagnified along food chains. In the environment, the most adverse impacts of metals (on populations) have been caused by organic tin compounds used in antifouling paints and aluminum mobilized by acid rain. High concentrations of organic mercury and cadmium in certain organisms may cause concerns for the health of human populations that rely heavily on their use as food items.

Geochemical signatures of redepositional environments: The Namibian continental margin
2020, Marine Geology
Trace metal abundances in marine sediments have been used extensively to interpret periods of elevated primary productivity and ancient ocean redox conditions. However, sediment reworking that results in post-depositional oxidation, such as bio-irrigation or lateral sediment transport through oxic water, can modify the primary geochemical signal of the sediment, which in turn may impact paleo-redox and/or -productivity interpretations. In the case of sediments on the Namibian Continental Margin (NCM), lateral transport and redeposition contribute to the accumulation of organic matter on the margin slope. To better constrain the geochemical effects of lateral transport on the NCM, we examined the trace metal signature (including solid-phase Fe, Mo, V, Ni, Cu and Ag, and pore-water Fe, Mo, and V) in surface sediments (up to 25 cmbsf) along a transect from shelf to slope through the primary (shelf) and secondary (upper slope) depositional zones of the margin. Despite varying bottom water redox conditions ranging from seasonally anoxic (upper shelf), suboxic (shelf break), and oxic (upper slope), each site has elevated total organic carbon contents (average TOC content of 9.1, 3.2 and 6.8 wt%, respectively), due to high surface water primary productivity and lateral transport of organic-rich material from the shelf to the upper slope. Our results show that the solid-phase contents of the productivity proxies Ni, Cu, and Ag parallel the organic carbon accumulations largely irrespective of the local redox conditions. In contrast, the solid-phase contents of V, Mo, and Fe respond to the local bottom water redox conditions at each site, being enriched under strongly reducing conditions and less-enriched under oxic bottom waters despite enhanced TOC at all three investigated sites. Thus, the enrichment of trace metal and TOC at each site on the NCM can not only be used to reconstruct primary depositional bottom water redox conditions but also to identify zones of sediment redeposition. Using an offshore transect allows for the identification of intense lateral transport and redeposition of organic-rich sediments that are occurring along the margin. The relative concentrations of both redox-sensitive and productivity-related trace metals suggest that the decoupling of trace metals and organic carbon enrichments occasionally observed in the geological record could be explained by the process of lateral transport and redeposition.
Selective ionic liquid solvent bar micro-extraction for estimation of ultra-trace silver fractions in marine waters
2019, Science of the Total Environment
Ag can be found in the ocean at the ultra-trace level, mainly as AgCl_n⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾⁻ and complexed by dissolved organic matter (Ag-DOM). However, methods for studying Ag speciation in marine waters are limited by the lack of extractants capable to separate organic and inorganic silver species in natural conditions of seawater samples.
In this work, a two-phase solvent bar micro-extraction method using the ionic liquid trihexyltetradecylphosphonium chloride (Cyphos® 101) was applied for selective micro-extraction of AgCl_n⁽ⁿ⁻¹⁾⁻ from organic silver in marine waters, working at seawater pH,. The application to real samples was performed under the following conditions: 2.5% Cyphos® 101 in kerosene solution with 10% dodecan-1-ol inside the fiber, and 30 min of sample extraction at a stirring rate of 800 rpm. The proposed SBME was successfully used for estimation of Ag fractions in waters from the Bay of Cádiz (South-west Spain) showing its applicability for a simple, fast and environmentally friendly speciation of silver in marine water samples. The method presented a linear response up to 500 ng L⁻¹ and a detection limit of 0.4 ng L⁻¹, using GF-AAS for instrumental determination.
