In the face of the growing global water crisis, membrane technology is a promising means of
purifying water and wastewater. Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) have been widely used to …

Silver nanoparticles have antibacterial properties, but their use has been a cause for
concern because they persist in the environment. Here, we show that lignin nanoparticles …

Silver is an ancient antibiotic that has found many new uses due to its unique properties on
the nanoscale. Due to its presence in many consumer products, the toxicity of nanosilver has …

For nearly a decade, researchers have debated the mechanisms by which AgNPs exert
toxicity to bacteria and other organisms. The most elusive question has been whether the …

Silver nanoparticles (Ag-NPs) readily transform in the environment, which modifies their
properties and alters their transport, fate, and toxicity. It is essential to consider such …

Background Recently, the use of nanotechnology has been expanding very rapidly in
diverse areas of research, such as consumer products, energy, materials, and medicine …

Silver, known in metallic form since antiquity, has very early been recognized by mankind for
its antimicrobial properties, a phenomenon observed, for example, in the context of drinking …

Here, we present a review of the antibacterial effects of silver nanomaterials, including
proposed antibacterial mechanisms and possible toxicity to higher organisms. For purpose …
