Normally the major contaminant is copper, with the next one being gold.
Lead is normally way down the list.

Dear Michael,
You ask:
What is in the other 1% of the silver wire?
If you're buying "fine silver" or 99.9% pure wire, the question
should be "What's in the other 1/10 of a percent of the silver?"
So realize up front that the total impurities in fine silver are no
more than .1% of the total metal.
If you dissolve that in distilled water to make, say, 10 ppm
colloidal/ionic silver, you've further diluted the impurities to
something like .001 x .00001 = .00000001 or .01 parts-per-million
*maximum* contaminants from the metal.
You'll have more and more dangerous contamination from impurities in
the distilled water, the air, that piece of pie you ate for lunch...
than from the silver metal of your electrodes.
The answer to your original question, if I remember right, is that
the major contaminant of silver is usually copper. There can be
traces of a bunch of other things, some of which would be nasty, but
the concentrations will be so low as to be negligible.
Hope that puts it into perspective for you!
Be well,
Mike D.
