The control received ad libitum of normal tap water while the test group was provided with Silver life water. In the first test, twenty animals were divided into two groups, control (n=10) and test animals (n=10). Two tests were carried out at the Department of Pharmacology for the toxicity test. Method: Six (6) Samples of the said product was sent for analysis at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST), Ashanti region, Ghana to the Departments of Pharmacology for toxicological analysis and the Departments of Theoretical & Applied Biology/Environmental Science and Chemistry for physiochemical and safety analysis. The aim of this research article is to examine the toxicity, physiochemical and safety of colloidal silver life water manufactured by Edigaf Services as alternative to antibiotic. The learning chemistry, silver dissolved in water to the extent of 0.07 mg liter in presence of dissolved oxygen and attacked by atmospheric sulfur compounds, mainly hydrogen sulfide (H S).ĪIM: One of the most important quantitative outputs from toxicity studies is identification of the highest exposure level (dose or concentration) that does not cause treatment related effects that could be considered relevant to human health risk assessment. Chemically, silver metal is quite unreactive element with chemical symbol = Ag, atomic weight = 107.868, melting point = 961.8 ☌, boiling point = 2162 ☌, and electrical resistivity = 1.67 ohm. Although the atomic states of copper, silver, and gold (noble metal family) contain ns (n-1)d outer electron configuration or filled d-subshell but they considered transition elements because in +2 and +3 oxidation number or state of chemical element posses incompletely filled d-orbital. The noble metal, silver form an FCC crystal lattice structure with characteristic silvery-white colour. The name silver comes from Assyrian serpu or Gothic silbur meaning white and from Latin name, Argentum means shiny white (Greek latter Argos). Silver (Ag), atomic number 47, the shiny white, lustrous metal of Group 11 or IB in periodic table chemical element uses from the ancient age to jewelry, coinage (decorative beauty), and electrical conductivity.
