What would happen to the ecosystem if you mixed large amount of powdered silver into a lake?

+0

Basically what would be the long term effect on the health of ecosystem of a lake if tons of powdered silver is mixed into a lake?

This question comes from a hypothetical situation where a lake has been desecrated by evil magics. Water can be purified in flasks by mixing some powered silver into the flask and doing a ritual over it. The clerics of the kingdom know of the ritual and have the resources to do it on this scale. This is the only way they know for purifying the lake of the desecration.

While magic is involved the end result of the magic is a clean lake that just got a lot of powdered silver dumped in it.

What would the damage to the lakes ecosystem be in the months/years following the ritual?
