Well honestly if it was, then we would all probably be dead. It shouldn't be harmful, considering it goes through a dish washer and when they first make the silver in a factory they only put the carbon in them in order to hold there shape. They go through a series of test first to make sure no chemical is unbalanced. so don't worry about it.

Answer:

If by silverware you mean eating utensils made of Sterling Silver, there is no carbon in silverware. Sterling Silver contains (by law) 92.5% pure silver and 7.5% of other metals - typically copper.

If by silverware you follow the American custom of calling all flatware "silverware" you might include iron, steel, German Silver, or stainless steel in the materials present. Of these, only the iron and steel items would contain carbon. In those alloys the carbon is bound tightly with the metal and will not be released.

As far as the toxicity of pure carbon - it isn't toxic. Well done steaks and toast would be very unpopular if carbon were toxic.
