Abstract The purpose of my project is to investigate the effects of nanosilver on Daphnia magna organisms, and look at the relationship between the health of Daphnia magna in a simulated pond and tap water environment and the concentration of nanosilver within that environment, to ultimately determine whether or not nanosilver poses a threat to the environment or not.
