Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are widely used in daily life and industry because of their excellent antibacterial properties. AgNPs can exist in wastewater in various forms, such as Ag , Ag SO , Ag CO , Ag S, Ag O, and AgCl. To assess the potential environmental risk of AgNPs and various forms of Ag,...
