KEYWORDS
ABSTRACT
This paper presents information on the growing application and possible impacts of nanosilverparticles on human health and environment. Silver nanoparticles are the most frequent commercialized nanomaterial. They are used in a number of strategic areas including energy, electronics, medicine and biotechnology. Currently little is known about the toxicity of silver nanoparticles or about the mechanism of adverse effect. The potential risk associated with the application of engineered silver nanoparticles have been videly delated in recent years.
