Abstract The purpose of this project is to efficiently produce and analyze silver nano-particles for testing. Following this European ivy (hedera helix) and baker's yeast (saccharomyces cerevisiae) will be exposed to the silver nano-particles in varying concentrations. The effects of the silver nano-particles on these organisms will be measured and compared to ionized and bulk silver.
