Ongoing research on silver iodide toxicity

From Dartmouth Toxic Metals Program:
"In a modern version of the ancient “rain dance”, silver iodide can be dropped or “seeded” onto clouds to produce or increase rainfall. Scientists are now conducting studies in desert regions of the United States and Mexico, to quantify and validate this silver cloud-seeding technology, and to determine whether it would increase rainfall in drought-ridden areas. Normally, clouds produce rain when tiny particles of dust attract moisture and grow into raindrops. To mimic this natural effect, planes fly through the updraft under clouds using pyrotechnic flares to discharge “seeds” (tiny grains of silver) upward. Cloud-seeding technology raises some concerns that adding chemicals to clouds would pollute the air, water or earth. Groups supporting the practice, including the National Weather Modification Association, claim that the amounts of silver are far too small to cause harm." http://www.dartmouth.edu/~toxmetal/TXQAag.shtml
Other findings while searching today:
"Fallout from cloud seeding with silver iodide is
not always confined to local precipitation; silver residuals have
been detected several hundred kilometers downwind of seeding
events." http://72.14.203.104/search?q=cache:ho9LFmugod4J:www.nature.nps.gov/hazardssafety/toxic/silver.pdf+silver+iodide+particle+toxicity&hl=en&gl=us&ct=clnk&cd=17&client=firefox-a
"Signs of chronic silver intoxication in tested
birds and mammals included cardiac enlargement,
vascular hypertension, hepatic necrosis, anemia, lowered immunological activity, altered membrane permeability, kidney pathology, enzyme inhibition,
growth retardation, and a shortened life span"

Silver Metal Poisoning Toxicity Symptomology
Anti Psoric and possibly anti-sycotic
* Direct effect on cartilages
* Direct effect on nerves and nerve sheaths
* Effects the brain/nervous system over time
o gradually softens tissues
o targets "intellectual" sections of the brain
o Slight changes to voluntary systems ( undefined )
o May affect reasoning abilities
+ Physical symptoms of neck and back pain, and tearing pain throughout body
+ Mental fatigue and restlessness with vertigo
o Symptoms masked by coffee/caffeine intake
o Symptoms temporarily relieved by exercise
o Cold weather increases pain from Rheumatism
o Increased joint pain
o knotting of cartilage
* Effects left testes and right ovaries ( hardening )
* Mental and emotional excitement to the point of rage
* Experience of shock sensations in the limbs upon going to sleep
* Skin irritation, itching sensation that cannot be relieved
* Painful tension in the throat
* Gray mucus from throat and sinuses
* Heart Palpitations while lying on the back
