What are the Challenges and Risks Associated with Silver Nanoparticles?
While silver nanoparticles offer numerous benefits, there are challenges and risks associated with their use. One major concern is the toxicity of AgNPs to human health and the environment. Prolonged exposure can lead to the release of silver ions, which are toxic to cells. Additionally, the potential for environmental accumulation and the development of microbial resistance are significant issues that need to be addressed.
