This work investigated the role of natural organic matter (NOM) in the environmental processes of silver nanoparticles (AgNP) and the uptake and accumulation of AgNP in wheat. Different NOMs (Suwannee River humic acids [SRHA], fulvic acid [FA]) and Ag elements (Ag⁽⁰⁾ and Ag⁺) were incubated in a hydroponic media for 15 days. The results showed that the NOM (10 mg C L⁻¹) altered the dissolution, stabilization, uptake and accumulation of AgNP. The dissolution of AgNP declined in the presence of NOM. Compared with FA, the dissolved Ag⁺ decreased much more from 0.30 mg L⁻¹ to 0.10 mg L⁻¹ in the presence of SRHA. The fluorescence quenching results indicated that SRHA exhibited stronger binding to Ag⁺ than that of FA, and the quenching constants Ksv were 0.1309 (SRHA) and 0.0074 (FA), respectively. CO, CH, COC, and MeOH were involved in the interaction between NOM and AgNP. The NOM decreased the accumulated content of Ag in wheat. Hence, NOM alleviated the inhibition of AgNP to wheat growth. SRHA reduced the Ag content of wheat roots approximately 3-fold. These results clearly indicated the importance of NOM on altering the behavior, fate and toxicity of AgNP in an environment.
